Part 1 of the Christmas in the City series
A fake relationship. A real spark. And a boss who can't seem to remember this was only pretend.
What could be better than being asked to help head up a big project at work on her first day? Anything but being asked by her boss to pretend to be his girlfriend for the holidays. But when Ellie meets the crazy ex-girlfriend her boss is trying to avoid, she can't help but agree to be his fake girlfriend.
Brady doesn't mind being put in charge of the big Christmas gala at work, but when he's forced to work with his ex-girlfriend, he panics. He is clearly not thinking straight when he asks the new intern to stand in as his girlfriend for the duration of the holidays-to keep his ex at bay-but is pleasantly surprised when she agrees to the scheme.
Thrown together in mishaps and close encounters, Ellie and Brady keep up the ruse for family and friends. Balancing the fake relationship with real feelings, can they fool everyone around them, or are they just fooling themselves?

Part 1 of the Christmas in the City series
Gemma's a successful architect in London, but her personal life has been a mess since her engagement ended in a very public disaster. She throws herself into work until a chance meeting with an aloof and dominating billionaire at a Christmas party awakens a side of her she never knew she had, a side that wants to let someone else take control for a while.
Cole's got his own painful past relationship, which is the reason all his bedroom encounters come with strictly defined terms, not to mention the reason that he hates Christmas. He's not looking for a change, but Gemma's unusual mix of confidence and submission leaves him wanting more.
The two strike a deal to satisfy their mutual attraction, but will their sparks in the bedroom give new warmth to the rest of their lives as well, or is their relationship destined to bloom only for the holidays, just like the mistletoe?
