Prideful Billionaire For Christmas - Jessica Gilmore

Dating Mr Darcy!

Organizing the Fitzhenrys’ yuletide ball is history podcaster Betsy’s dream. Shame it means working with heir, Will. The descendant of the rumoured inspiration for the Mr Darcy is just as vexingly proud. And Betsy’s podcast inadvertently thrusts the media-shy billionaire and his painful past into focus! Will demands Betsy fix things with a relationship ruse. Only now she understands the heartbreak beneath his brooding, their attraction has no animosity to hide behind. As the clock counts down on their holiday charade, can Betsy kiss this true Christmas connection goodbye?

Event planner Holly didn’t think Christmas could get any worse — until she runs into the prince who broke her heart! And Finn has a startling request: become his fake fiancée to ward off his royal family’s prying questions this festive season. Holly reluctantly accepts. At least it will distract her from the perfect life she doesn’t have! Yet as the magic of his winter wonderland castle rekindles their undeniable chemistry, a second chance with Finn starts to seem like the fairy tale ending Holly’s always craved...

Christmas With The Secret Tycoon - Rhonda Baxter
