Derek needs a fake boyfriend for Christmas — and Luke needs money to save his family’s bar. It seems like the perfect arrangement, but when the holiday spirit sparks feelings they never expected, could love take them by surprise? Hiring a boyfriend for Christmas? What could go wrong?
Derek is facing yet another Christmas where his life feels out of control. He has a new career that doesn’t feel like his, and parents who would just love to see him settled down. All he needs is a temporary buffer for the parties he has to attend, and for his parents to leave him alone. Enter, Luke.
Luke is twenty-thousand dollars short for the renovations on Halligans; his family’s bar in New York’s Financial District. A favor for a buddy has him agreeing to play the part of boyfriend to a guy with more money than sense.
But when the spirit of Christmas works its magic on the two men, and they begin to fall for each other, Derek runs scared, and Luke needs space.
It doesn’t matter what obstacles you throw in the way of love, or how much you run in the other direction, because, when you’re least expecting it, whether you want it or not, love happens anyway.

Sue A. says
Devil in Winter comes to mind.
mrs wendy moodie says
Like a lot of other readers there’s so much choice to choose from. Christmas Prince, The Texas series and The Christmas Throwaway, Love Happens Anyway to name a few and asking us to choose ONE is like finding a needle in a haystack, you and many other Authors write so many really good Christmas stories it becomes impossible. A rollercoaster ride of emotional, angst, loving and funny, suspense and so much more.
All I can say is THANK YOU ALL for giving so much JOY amidst the sadness that’s around today
Angela says
My favorite Christmas/Winter romance is COLOR OF YOU by C.S. Poe. It’s one of my most re-listened to audiobooks because I adore the story AND Grey Boudreaux does a fabulous job of bringing it to life.
Donna M. says
North Pole series by Charlie Cochet.
Marion Cee says
Mr Sparkles by you. I always re-read this book! When
