Catching Christmas Nellie K Neves

What's the problem with his fake sister?
1. Gorgeous ?
2. Unpredictable ?
3. Crazy about Christmas ?


John Beckett built his life into something he can be proud of, great job with a prestigious firm, nice apartment, killer Jaguar, everything a successful guy might want. But when a company retreat involves the entire family, things go off the rails. Bringing his own family isn't an option for Beckett, so he puts out a casting call to hire a fake one. By end of the auditions, he's got a proud dad, an adoring mom, a dorky brother, and Piper, the gorgeous actress he hired to play his fake sister. That was his first mistake. Leaving her alone with his boss's wife, that was his second mistake.


Now, he's been roped into a week of family-fun at the firm's Christmas retreat. All fine and good for someone who loves Christmas like Piper, but Beckett has never been a fan. With a partner's seat up for grabs, he has no choice but to work with the loose cannon that snagged his attention from that first audition. Crazy fake accents, unpredictable behavior, strange sleeping patterns, and a deep desire to help him catch the spirit of Christmas, Piper might be his worst nightmare and his fondest dream all stuffed into one pint-sized package. For Piper, the proposition is simple. Pretend to be Beckett's sister for a week and earn a hefty paycheck. But then, staying in a cozy guesthouse with a handsome Christmas Grinch poses its own challenges. It's not so easy staying in character when he's stealing her heart at every turn.


While they're convincing everyone else that they're just siblings, they forget to convince themselves. The deeper their attraction goes, the more tangled his life becomes. After all, it's his fake family that has the power to advance his career, but by the same margin, it's that same fake family that keeps him from falling for Piper, knowing he'll lose everything he's earned. Torn between two impossible choices, will he make a decision before he loses both?



The relationship is fake, but the attraction is real.

The books in the Forgotten Ones series can be read in order or read as a stand alone. Each contains their own story, though characters sometimes overlap with cameos. This is a clean romance with elements of comedy, ( who doesn't love lively banter), but no swearing, violence, or explicit scenes. If this were a movie, it would be rated PG-13.
