Christmas with the Boss

One meddling family. One insufferable boss. And a fake relationship that might just require a Christmas miracle.

There’s no place like home for the holidays… unless your "golden child" sister is bringing her new boyfriend, who also happens to be your cheating ex. I was prepared for a blue Christmas, but I wasn't prepared for my family to mistake my boss for my new boyfriend.

John Barrington is a brilliant financial mogul, a demanding employer, and a man who seemingly hates my guts. But when he surprisingly agrees to play along with the charade to save my dignity, the ultimate office standoff moves from the boardroom to my family's living room.

Away from the office, the ice around John thaws. Between mistletoe encounters and holiday magic, I’m starting to realize the man behind the suit isn't who I thought he was. As our ruse starts feeling dangerously real, the lines blur. Now, I have to decide if this Christmas charade is just a business deal, or if I’m falling for the one man I’m supposed to be faking it with.
