Your Romance Book Bargains for December 22, 2023

In this enemies-to-lovers Regency romance by USA Today bestselling and award-winning author Tracy Sumner, a bold lady and a ruthless duke realize they need to agree to an ardent alliance to get what they want.

He knew at first sight.
She knew at first kiss.

Helena Astley, Lady Hell to the ton, has plans. To control her father’s shipping business, to live her way, by her rules. Her plan is going remarkably well until one ill-advised kiss invites the duke she doesn’t want but cannot resist into her life.

Hardnosed Roan Darlington, Duke of Leighton, cares little for society or finding a duchess. The only person ever to challenge him is the incorrigible, infuriating Helena Astley. The one woman he’s never been able to forget. When they’re caught in a ruinous situation, Roan offers her an alternative. A sham engagement she can break off after Christmas.

Ruby Barclay knows she isn’t marrying for love. Love was never the plan. After losing her parents at the age of sixteen and fighting the state for guardianship of her siblings, Ruby is a pragmatist, not a romantic. And Wesley Landry, a fellow surgeon, is her best option for a safe and stable future. That is until she catches him with the florist’s assistant moments before their wedding ceremony.

For five years now, Ethan Shuff has watched the love of his life plan her future with another man, a man not even close to worthy of her. Ethan had helped Ruby fight for her siblings. He’d driven her back and forth to med school, then to her residency. He’d only held off on telling her his feelings because she was so determined to have the perfect life, a life he wasn’t sure he could give her as a cowboy working with underprivileged kids on the side. He’d only come to her wedding to close that unrequited chapter of his life for good.

But perhaps it wasn’t as unrequited as he thought. Because when Ruby falls into his arms for comfort at the church after Wesley’s betrayal, they both feel something. He can see it in her eyes. So, when she begs him to whisk her away from the wedding on his motorcycle, Ethan is more than happy to oblige.

And even as Ruby tries to convince herself she feels nothing for Ethan but friendship, her repeated dreams of him kissing her say otherwise.

All I want for Christmas is for my new boss to stop being an infuriating jerk.

And to stop being so sexy.

And he really needs to quit tempting me with his panty-melting smile. Don’t get me started on his sparkling blue eyes.

I mean, he definitely needs to stop kissing me.

When I first met Ryan Quinn, I was soaking wet. He was sitting on a toilet…in a shower. Did I mention that we were both at a pre-holiday party at a pimp’s mansion? No? Well, alleged pimp, anyway.

Weird is putting it mildly.

Did I also mention that he and I had a chance meeting at a bar the next night? The jerk didn’t even remember me. And yeah, I’ll bet you can guess where we ended up. In my defense, he wasn’t my boss that night. And while I’m being honest, I have zero regrets.

Now, Ryan, aka my boss, is saving our beloved small-town radio station. Have I told you he’s a jerk?

He should have left like he planned. But oh what fun. Now we’re snowed in together and all is not calm.

I will not give into temptation. And I will definitely not fall-la-la-la-la for my boss.

Note: Snowed In with the Boss is a bite-sized, steamy rom-com treat guaranteed to fill your holidays with humor, heart and heat.
