About the Book
Under pressure by his family to marry, a playboy baron becomes determined to befriend a no-nonsense-but-single professor he met at a wedding, for friendship and distraction.Book Synopsis
USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday follows A Princess for Christmas with another delightful contemporary Christmas romance, set in the heart of New York City, about a playboy baron and a woman who has said goodbye to love.
"[A] master of witty banter."--Entertainment Weekly
There's a royal wedding on, and things are about to get interesting.
Meet the man of honor
Maximillian von Hansburg, Baron of Laudon and heir to the Duke of Aquilla, is not having a merry Christmas. He's been dumped by a princess, he's unemployed, and his domineering father has sent him to New York to meet a prospective bride he has no interest in. In the city, he meets Dani Martinez, a smart (and gorgeous) professor he's determined to befriend before their best friends marry in the Eldovian wedding of the century.
Meet the best woman
Newly single, no-nonsense New Yorker Dani is done with love--she even has a list entitled "Things I Will Never Again Do for a Man"--which is why she hits it off with notorious rake Max. He's the perfect partner for snow angels in Central Park and deep conversations about the futility of love.
It's all fun and games until their friendship deepens into attraction and, oops...
Falling in love was never part of the plan.
