I’m delighted to
share the cover of my November 2016 release for Harlequin Romance, Greek Tycoon’s Mistletoe Proposal.
Isn’t the cover
model gorgeous? That’s my heroine, runaway bride Ashleigh Murphy and she’s
obviously lapping up the sweet nothings being whispered in her ear by gorgeous
Greek billionaire Lukas Christophedes. Lukas doesn’t actually have a beard in
the book, but some sexy designer stubble does come into it!
I was asked to
write this story as part of the Maids Under the Mistletoe Christmas continuity
series. It features four consecutive books (mine is number two) with heroines
who are working as maids for an elite employment agency over the
Christmas-New Year period.

| The story is set in snowy London at Christmas |
My story Greek Tycoon’s Mistletoe Proposal is an
engagement of convenience story with a Pretty
Woman type of makeover which I thoroughly enjoyed writing. It’s set in
London, England over Christmas. Although I live in Australia I used to live in London
and it was fun to revisit favourite places through my characters’ eyes.
Here’s the blurb:
A proposal of convenience!
When billionaire Lukas Christophedes finds maid
Ashleigh Murphy gatecrashing his mansion, he strikes a bargain: if Ashleigh
acts as Lukas’s girlfriend to help him close a deal, she can stay until the New
Year!
For newly single Ashleigh, agreeing to keep hearts
off the table sounds easy...until the line between what’s real and what’s for
show starts to blur! And as Christmas approaches, all Ashleigh is wishing for
is a different, much more heartfelt, proposal...
I’m in awesome
author company for this series: Christy McKellen with A Countess for Christmas (October 2016); Scarlet Wilson with Christmas in the Boss’s Castle (December
2016); and Jessica Gilmore with Her New
Year Baby Secret (January 2017).

Even though I
live on the other side of the world from these authors, I know them all—we’ve
spent some fun times at writers’ conferences, and I love that we’ve been able
to work together on this series.
Greek Tycoon’s Mistletoe Proposal is now available for pre-order.
