Book Description
A boss/secretary, 'marriage of convenience', Cinderella romance Meg It's not easy to reinvent yourself, but my thirteen-year-old son and I are ready for a new start. Old Maggie was a magnet for disaster, but New Meg is going to be elegant, sophisticated... and blonde. I've landed a dream job at the other end of New Zealand as PA to three rich directors who spoil me rotten, I've found a beautiful new apartment, and I feel reborn. Then I write an email to a friend describing in vivid detail what I want to do to the sexiest of the directors-involving melted chocolate and/or whipped cream-and mistakenly send it to All Staff. It turns out that New Meg is pretty much just Old Maggie with different packaging. Some things never change. Stratton I've wanted Meg since she first walked into my office with her soft lips and sexy curves, but she wears another man's ring, so I've steered well clear... until now. My mind's been occupied anyway since I broke up with my ex, Natalie. She's desperate to have me back and won't take no for an answer-so I've come up with a brilliant plan, to hire a fake fianc�e for Christmas to prove to her that we're done. After sending her hot-as-hell email, Meg confesses the truth about her past, and it gives me an idea. She can pretend to be my fianc�e, and I can protect her from the guy she's running from. Sounds like the perfect plan, right? Her teenage son's no problem because we get on great. Sharing her room? That's more of a challenge, but I've always had excellent self-control. Yeah, I know. I keep forgetting about the melted chocolate. What an idiot.

Book Description
How far would you go to make your Grandma happy at Christmas? I invented a fiance. It seemed safe enough – none of the other family members had brought their significant others along to family gatherings until they were married, and I was counting on that tradition to get away with my lie. So when Grandma insisted I bring him along, I freaked. I mean, wouldn’t you? Christmas was in less than two weeks, and I didn’t even have a boyfriend, let alone a fiance. How on earth was I supposed to find someone to fill that role two weeks before Christmas? When my bestie comes to the rescue, introducing me to her cousin Zane, I breathe a huge sigh of relief. Until the panic sets in at the realisation of exactly what this plan means. After all, not just any man will be accepted by my extended clan. All the men in my family believe in the same thing: obedient women; and they all use the same method to achieve their goal – no matter how outdated it seems. How is a pretend fiance going to get around that very important requirement? Will Zane be up to the task? Or am I going to have to swallow my pride and admit to my lie and break Grandma’s heart in the process?
