My Christmas Charade

Em needs a horrible fake boyfriend.

For Em Davis, planner extraordinaire, life should run as smoothly as her economic forecasts. She's got a checklist for the perfect boyfriend, and now she's met Thomas, who ticks off all the boxes. The only problem is her parents keep rejecting her new men. But she has a solution: she'll bring home someone so offensive that Thomas will shine in comparison.

Ian Reid is the perfect man for this role. He's a foul-mouthed jerk who insults her each time they meet. How hard could it be to spend three days over Christmas with a sexist lunkhead to teach her picky parents to quit interfering with her love life?

The only thing that Em hasn't calculated is that there's a whole other side to this sexy ex-pro hockey player. And a lot can happen in three days.

My Christmas Charade The final book in the trilogy brings together the couple who have been fighting their attraction since they first met in My Viral Valentine. This book originated as Her Best Worst Boyfriend in the USA Today bestselling Hockey Holiday anthology. It has been expanded to four times its original length, but still has all the chemistry between the earthy Ian and the proper Em. .
