She was fired for Christmas. He’s the Duke who signed the pink slip. And now, he’s her only ride to a Highland winter wonderland.

Sophia Reynolds is a master of the "imposter" act. She’s spent five years in London building a life out of paper-thin pennies and Jane Austen fantasies, all to forget the alcoholic father and the abusive ex she left behind in Denver. But her carefully curated world collapses on a Friday morning when she’s fired from her marketing job, just days before Christmas.

When her old clunker dies in a London snowstorm, her "guardian angel" arrives in a silver Aston Martin. Harris Kellison, the Duke of Finnes, is everything Sophia fears: rich, arrogant, and the secret owner of the company that just let her go.

Harris isn't just looking for a new manager; he’s looking for a lifetime. From helping Sophia's sister escape a nightmare back home to importing a private winter wonderland of snow to his eleventh-century castle, Harris is determined to melt the fence around Sophia’s heart.

As they navigate mistletoe traditions and steamy encounters in ancient sitting rooms, Sophia must decide: is she just a "meal ticket" for a man who has everything, or can a girl from nowhere finally find her home in the arms of a Scottish Duke?.

A sizzling, holiday romance featuring a protective billionaire, a 500-year-old castle, and a New Year’s vow that changes everything.
