Family is a big deal to me.

And since I've moved away, my parents have been worried about me being all alone.

My plan was to take a "boyfriend" home with me to show them just how happy and safe I am.

When my plans fall through, my boss, the man I've had the "hots" for since I started working for him, offers to stand in.

I try to turn him down, but he insists.

Now, all I have to figure out is how to make it through the next few days with my boss as my "fake" boyfriend.

Surely, I can hide my feelings from him.

I have to.

She's my assistant.

She loves Christmas and brightens up every room.

I've made peace with the fact that she's off limits.

That is until she tells me her date has stood her up.

After that, I can't be held responsible for my possessive, overbearing need to be with her.

I'm changing the rules and whether she realizes it or not, she's about to be mine.
