St. Nicked by Damon SuedeSt. Nicked: There`s no gift like the present.
Holidays this fun can’t be legal. When a cat burglar dressed as Santa targets a glitzy Manhattan high-rise, the holidays get unhinged.
As superintendent, Mark Almeida needs to keep the residents safe, and as a former NYPD cop, he knows he can crack the case without any help… until he meets a suave stranger too handsome for his own good who pushes buttons Mark didn’t know he had.
As the holly-jolly crime spree unfolds, Mark wrestles with duty and desire while juggling festive clues, lavish gifts, and stolen kisses in time for a truly crooked Christmas.
St. Nicked, the newest contemporary romance from Damon Suede, combines the tension of a mystery with feel-good romance in a way only Damon can deliver.

Meet the Author
Damon Suede… between soft and rough
Damon Suede grew up out-n-proud deep in the anus of right-wing America, and escaped as soon as it was legal. He has lived all over: Houston, New York, London, Prague. Along the way, he’s earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. He has been happily partnered for over a decade with the most loving, handsome, shrewd, hilarious, noble man to walk this planet.
Addictions: sweetness that isn’t sentimental, wit that isn’t bitter, strength that isn’t cruel. Allergies: professional victims, half-assery, clichés.
Beyond romance fiction, Damon has been writing for print, stage, and screen for over three decades, which is both more and less glamorous than you might imagine. He`s won some awards, but his blessings are more numerous: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year.
Damon would love to hear from you... you can get in touch with him here or at any of the following social media hubs:

16 years agoWow, looks really good! I had to visit your website to see why the daughter was “forbidden” but it looks like a very interesting story. It amazes me how some cultures can disregard a human life so easily.
Good luck and many sales!

16 years agoHmmm. the sad part is that things like this really did happen. I mean wasn’t it the Chinese empire a long long time ago that was only allowed one child and they would drown their child if it was a female in hopes of getting a male. I think any type of killing is horrible and I have to say this book sounds absolutely wonderful!!!! There is nothing like a mother’s love and this takes a really great mystery and takes some twists and turns it sounds like. I hope I win so I can read it and then gush how awesome it was!!!!!!!!!!!!

16 years agoThanks to all of you who stopped by the blog and posted your comments. I address a lot of book clubs and my non-Indian readers are fascinated by the practices that occur around the world. They have lots of questions about the dowry system (THE DOWRY BRIDE, my first book, discussed this) and now gender-selective abortions.
The sad part of this abortion issue is that it is messing with nature’s delicate balance. Already China and India are beginning to feel the shortage of women in the marriage market. Young men in China are desperate to find wives, especially in rural areas, where female feticide and infanticide are more rampant.
When will the world learn its lesson?
