This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales

is purely coincidental. The characters are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.

Warning:

The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. Wish List has been

rated E–rotic by a minimum of three independent reviewers.

Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-

rotic), and X (X-treme).

S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.

E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall

word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find

objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated

titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as

“fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.

X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles,

stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Dedication

To Raelene Gorlinsky, for giving me the opportunity to write a Christmas story. It

was very high up on my list of story themes I wanted to write. And to fellow Brava

author and lawyer, HelenKay Dimon, who very helpfully answered my questions about

law firms. All factual errors are mine alone.

Wish List

Chapter One

Nicholas James, the hottest man on the planet, was bare-assed naked with a bow

covering his cock.

Steph gaped. And not just any kind of gape, but a “bug-eyed, mouth hanging open

to catch flies” kind of gape. Before she could even think twice, she flipped up the red

bow and then drooled at what was under it. Oh. My. God.

“Jesus, Steph,” muttered her paralegal Elaine, bringing her sharply back to the

festive conference room and the sounds of Frank Sinatra singing holiday songs. “Your

Secret Santa gift can’t be that bad. Let me see it.” She held out her hand and beckoned

with her fingers, showing off long acrylic nails with airbrushed snowmen.

Hugging the silver foil box to her chest, Steph thrust over the restaurant gift

certificate that had concealed the photo beneath—the photo with the clever little bow

strategically glued with just enough hinge to afford her an eyeful.

“Ooohhh, nice. I love Dominico’s.” Elaine’s red painted mouth curved in a smile.

“You should take me. All of my dates are too cheap to go there.”

“Uh.” Turning her head, Steph searched the crowded conference room for the

naked man of her dreams. Of course, Nicholas wasn’t naked right now. Not at the

Mitchell, Jones, and Cline annual Christmas party. No, right now he was wearing

beautifully tailored slacks in dark blue, a crisp white shirt with blue tie and white silk

vest. She loved that he wore three-piece suits. Somehow, the urbanity of his clothing

only served to accentuate the raw masculine power of his body. He was single and

gorgeous, and like most single and gorgeous men, he led an active lifestyle which kept

him in fine shape.

Just the sort of man most women were wildly attracted to. She, however, avoided

him like the plague. She’d learned her lesson the first time.
