No hot water? Check Missed the train? Check Broke my heel? Check Dropped my coffee? Check My first day of my new job can’t possibly go worse, right? Wrong. When I meet Parker Scott, I realize this job is going to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. Quitting isn’t an option; I’ll have to learn to deal with the three Bossholes in one way or another. Every assistant I hire is gone before the end of the day. Most leave crying within hours of starting. I'm not an easy person to work for, I know this. But. I. Don’t. Care. I expect my assistants to work hard and do their job. I don’t want their opinions or thoughts… until I meet Logan. She quickly becomes indispensable to the company, and my heart.

Carrie hates me. There’s no question about it, she’s even told me. I'm shocked when she asks for my help with getting a boyfriend. The problem is I don’t want to do that; I want the position for myself. But I’ll never be enough for a woman like Carrie, she deserves so much better than what I can give her. I'm a disaster when it comes to men. I don’t know how to flirt and I’ve never been kissed. All I want is for my prince charming to come into my life. I’ll do just about anything to get him, even beg Owen to help me. If the playboy himself can't help me land the man of my dreams no one can. But what happens when he’s the only man I want?

If I’ve said it once in my life, I’ve said nine thousand times. ‘Stay away from your best friend’s sister!’ It worked for a while, until a college party. When that ended in disaster, I nearly had it tattooed on my forehead. We kept our distance after that, but I never filled that Avery shaped hole in my heart. Then my ‘brother from another mother’ tells me she’s here to take her position in the family company, and in she sweeps looking better than any of the fantasies I’ve had over the years. Fantastic. Cue the mantra. I don’t know why I think it’d work now. Avery isn’t someone you can ignore. She’s the world’s greatest distraction. At one point, Luke was my everything. Our time together in college changed me on a molecular level and I was so sure we were destined to be that couple people wished they could be. Then reality slapped me in the face and my everything turned into a steaming pile of nothing. Fast forward two years, and all those Luke shaped molecules turn into Luke-haters. Now, he’s everything I hate in men. The top of my dating checklist says “Not Luke.” I don’t know why I think cannon balling back into his life is a good idea. At first, I just wanted to prove myself to him, and take my place at the company. But Luke’s a gorgeous distraction I don’t need, one I’m not sure my heart can handle.

Christmas has never been more entertaining. Join Parker and Logan, Owen and Carrie, and Avery and Luke at their lake house for Christmas. Meet their kids and you might even spot a few crossover characters from other series!
