Countdown to Christmas: (A Christmas Romance Novella)

by Betty Shreffler

  Thank you for reading Countdown to Christmas! I hope you enjoyed Sophia and Jaxson’s Christmas love story. If their office romance warmed your heart and steamed up your Kindle, I recommend reading My Hot Boss next.

  Prepare to have your heart stolen in this sexy, witty, and swoon-worthy office romance:

  Emma Williams wanted a night of complete freedom, and Grayson Cole's charming words and sexy-as-sin kiss promised to give her what she needed, but instead, the evening ended in disaster. A month later, trouble walks through her office door, and Emma is introduced to the same seductively handsome man she couldn't forget, and now, he's her new boss. Undeniable attraction is something she doesn't need, not when she's up for a promotion for her dream job and recovering from a devastating breakup, but every time she's near him, he stirs a fire inside her too strong to control. Keeping it professional isn't an option when Grayson is determined to have her and knows how to satisfy her every desire.

  "OMG, I could not put this down!! The chemistry the two of them share is ridiculously hot right from the beginning, but because the pair suffer heartbreak in the past, it has them questioning their feelings. Such a whirlwind romance that has you hooked from the start! I absolutely loved this book definite 5 Star MUST READ!!!!" ~ Tracy & Helen's Romance Book Blog

  Wondering what other passionate romances are in my collection? Fall in love with a swoon-worthy cowboy in Fire on the Farm, or a charming and perfectly sculpted kickboxing instructor in Unbreak This Heart. Or take a ride on the wild side and begin the Kings MC Romances with Castle of Kings.
