He never mixes business with pleasure, but that is all about to change. The Max Sutherland doesn’t care about Christmas or birthdays, or even his sexy coworker since he doesn’t want to be distracted from his job. When he asks his assistant, Samantha Forester to book a trip for them to a tropical Island to check on his latest eco-friendly villa construction project, he doesn’t plan to still be there for Christmas. Neither does he expect anything but business to happen on this ‘Fantasy Island’ sort of place. The Samantha Forester has known and been infatuated with her boss for years and decides it is time for him to notice her too. While booking a trip to check on his latest project, she takes advantage of the romantic relationship-based island by secretly booking ‘fantasies’ for both of them while they are there. What she never expected was to see some of those Bad Boys of Sweetwater working on the island, including their crazy Aunt Cappy and her new husband. Can a Christmas Scrooge with ice in his heart ignore his hidden feelings for his sexy coworker, remembering his rule never to date someone he works with, since it’s only brought him heartache in the past? Samantha is doing her best to thaw Max’s heart and warm his soul. Spending Christmas together on a fantasy island is a temptation that even he might not be able to resist. When strange dreams haunt Max just before Christmas, those ghostly images of people from Sweetwater make him face his past, present, and future all at once. This is one Christmas he will never forget. This book was first seen as Hired Heart, part of the multi-author Indulgences Series. Guest appearances by some of the characters of the Bad Boys of Sweetwater.
