A Warm December — Jacqueline Topaz

When wealthy executive Dave Anders goes to the vet to pick up his dog, he ends up chasing a monkey and kissing the vet herself! Dr. Merrie McGregor's dazzled by Dave's powerful sensuality but thinks she'll never see him again--until he shows up as Santa Claus on her doorstep on Christmas Eve, with gifts for Merrie's niece... and a burning passion for Merrie.

Merrie's snobbish sister goads her into claiming an engagement with moneyed Dave. But pretending to be betrothed to Merrie makes Dave want the real thing. Merrie's afraid their lives are worlds apart, but Dave's already planning on making their warm December last all year round...
