The Plan: A quiet winter holiday alone.
The Sudden Reality: A giant family Christmas with my fake boyfriend – a sexy, wealthy, older man who cares for me like I’m actually his.

She needs a job and she can’t afford to be picky, even when her new boss turns out to be someone she already, um, *knows*. He isn’t used to meeting beautiful women on the street, and he’s even less used to them running away. He’s going to punish her for that, and she’s going to enjoy it, but can she trust him with her heart as well as her body?

I’m terrified of giant men. But when Leif volunteered to scare off my stalker by pretending to be my boyfriend, I knew the gorgeous hulking security tech was the perfect man for the job.
