Home and Garden assistant manager Evie Strand has
painstakingly embroidered a set of seven thongs as a gag gift for her best
friend—only she brought the wrong box to the store Christmas party, and now
Adam Grant from Automotive is holding them up for everyone to see: Kiss my...,
Tight Fit—could things get any worse? Adam may seem like a total rake, but he
can tell Evie’s deeply embarrassed and he resolves to make it up to her. Who
knew where a simple dinner date would lead?

EXCERPT
Mortified,
Evie Strand looked on in horror at the office Christmas party careening out of
control. Her fellow employees stared at her in amazement. Some snickered. Some
couldn’t remain silent.
“What a hoot,” Leslie whispered
from the seat next to her. “You put old Adam in his place.”
Evie
shook her head and swallowed hard, willing herself to be anywhere but in this
room. Adam Grant’s dark eyes snapped, mocking her. Did he really think she’d
given him that package on purpose? It was meant for Christie, her closest
friend. That package wasn’t even supposed to come to the office party. Christie
didn’t work for the store.
How
could she be such an idiot? She’d wrapped so many Christmas presents late last
night. It had never occurred to her that the two packages looked so similar on
the outside.
To her
dismay, she’d drawn Adam Grant’s name for the annual gift exchange. She hadn’t
given it much thought once she’d decided to give him a tie.
Evie
blinked as he rummaged through his gift. “No,” she muttered softly, when he
held up a second thong. This one, like the last, had hand-stitched lettering.
She
should know. She’d painstakingly hand-lettered seven thongs for Christie. They
were supposed to be a joke. Christie would probably never actually wear any of
them, but they’d both gone out of their way over the past six seasons to
surprise each other with something outlandishly sexy. Maybe she’d gone over the
top this year.
Adam
held up the pink Tuesday thong. He could hardly read it aloud for breaking up
with laughter. Tuesday: Wish you were…A
question mark below the lettering left little room for confusion about the
intent—it would nestle comfortably over the wearer’s mound.
More
hoots and hollers followed. The powder-blue Monday thong had been more
shocking, probably because it was the first one Adam had held up, or maybe
because it said Don’t Dribble across
the front.
Evie
pushed her chair back from the long banquet table where she sat with her fellow
Grafton Department Store employees. Leslie grabbed her wrist. “Don’t let him
get the best of you. Mistakes happen. At least half the people here think you
did this on purpose to get the rake’s goat. If you leave, they’ll know you
screwed up.”
Evie
gulped and nodded at her department manager. She drew in a deep breath. “All
right.”
She
glanced back at Adam in time to see him holding up the yellow Wednesday thong: Kiss My…with a broken arrow pointing
suggestively toward the backside.
