About the book
Christmas with the boss!
When Hawk Mallen took over the company Joanne Crawford worked for, it seemed he'd taken over her life, as well -- expecting his new assistant to be at his command day and night! And when he offered Joanne a dream promotion, she realized she'd be at his side almost twenty-four hours a day....
Working so closely with Hawk, Joanne found it hard to ignore how irresistibly sexy he was. She was determined not to have an affair with her boss, but what if Hawk wasn't just looking for a mistletoe mistress -- but a wife?
