BARBARA WHITE DAILLE (Cont.) ONE WEEK TO WIN HER BOSS BLURB EXCERPT When Amber is temporarily forced from her apart- ment, her only option is to stay at her boss’s private lodge, where she’s the housekeeper. A stormy family re- union leaves Michael seeking the solitude of his lodge, where he finds Amber in residence—and in trouble. At- tempting to save her from her matchmaking family, he announces they’re a couple. His good deed backfires when they’re instantly included in every holiday event in town. So much for solitude. Amber put a finger to her lips. “Merry Christmas,” she whispered. Michael came closer. “Why are we whispering?” he asked. Mesmerizing brown eyes stared into hers. “Uh-h-h…” What? She shook her head. “Penny’s asleep. She hasn’t made it through a night without waking up in forever.” “And so, neither has her mom?” His insight made her eyes fill with tears. Blinking, she forced a laugh. “Well, let’s just say, fingers crossed and this being Christmas, maybe tonight Santa will bring us both the gift of sleep.” “I doubt even Santa can work a miracle like that one. But we can hope.” He’d kept his voice low, and the husky murmur seemed to vibrate through her. “Want me to light the fire?” “That’s my job.” “Not today, it isn’t.” This wasn’t at all the way she had expected to spend her Christmas morning. But what could be better than being with Michael again. Except. . . He didn’t want either of them here. Reviews Welcome. 7
