A Merry Misdeal

By KJ Raffat

Holiday rule #1: Never get drunk and agree to fake-date your boss.

Olivia Hartley's Christmas falls apart the moment she learns her cheating ex is getting engaged to her cousin over the holidays. Shocked, humiliated, and two airport whiskeys past her limit, she does the one thing she'd never do sober: confide in her hot-as-sin billionaire boss, Alexander Castellano.

Alexander is desperate to escape his own family's holiday chaos, so he proposes an unbelievable solution: he'll travel with Olivia to Silverbell Hollow as her boyfriend. Drunk and out of options, Olivia says yes before she can talk herself out of it.

But Olivia didn't expect him to fit into her family's Christmas so perfectly. She didn't expect the warmth beneath his icy exterior. And she definitely didn't expect the way he touches her when no one is watching.

She keeps telling herself it's pretend.

But do fake boyfriends kiss you till your toes curl?
Do they make you forget your name when they've got their hands all over you?
And do they leave you wondering if you're the only one faking it?

Because if this is pretend... Alexander clearly didn't get the memo.

A cozy, spicy, small-town Christmas romance for readers who love fake dating, forced proximity, and a billionaire who melts only for her.
