About this ebook

Will a Christmas ruse unmask hidden feelings?

Zoe loves her job as a resort event coordinator for a dude ranch in the small town of Starlight, Texas, especially around Christmas. The air practically shimmers with hope for families and lovers alike. But this Christmas, it's not just the visitors who will experience the holiday magic of the resort. Zoe is in for a ride all her own.

Daniel is desperate. His family surprised him with an unexpected visit to the resort where he works just for the holidays. Worse yet, they want to meet his “girlfriend,” but their relationship exists only as a means of keeping his mother from meddling in his love life. Surprisingly, Zoe is willing to help keep up the charade.

All they have to do is convince his family that they are in love, something that’s easier said than done.

As Zoe and Daniel spend time together, their fake relationship begins to feel increasingly real. What starts as a ruse to keep his family at bay becomes a dance of emotions neither ever expected.

Amid the holiday festivities and Christmas lights, will Zoe and Daniel turn their pretend romance into a happily ever after?

That in part is why he’s at an impasse as he made up a relationship with his coworker Zoe. Which was ok if his family would just stay in Oklahoma. His brother Michael though has put a cog in his fantasy works as his parents along with the scheming Michael turn up to surprise the happy couple….Bust
