A fake boyfriend becomes a very real problem when family unexpectedly shows up in this cozy, spicy Christmas novella from the author of the Red Mountain series.
To skip her family’s annual Christmas trip to Mexico, and their endless questions about when she’s finally going to get her life together, bartender Daisy Flores does what any desperate daughter would do: she invents a boyfriend. It seems like a harmless lie until an impending snowstorm grounds every flight out of Cedar Valley, leaving her family stuck in town and eager to meet her mystery man. Now her only option is to convince Rob, the sweet regular she’s been crushing on for months, to play the part.
Finance intern Rob Smith is already on thin ice after one disastrous reply-all put his career on the line. Playing fake boyfriend to the bartender he’s been secretly pining over should be the easy part. Except Daisy’s family comes with complications Rob never saw coming, and one of them could cost him everything.
