MY FAVORITE HOLIDATE
By Lauren Blakely

🎄 Fake dating. A billionaire boss. One unforgettable Christmas!

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes My Favorite Holidate, a spicy holiday romantic comedy filled with fake dating, Christmas competitions, sizzling chemistry, and unexpected love.

Fable Calloway has one very specific Christmas wish.

She needs a gorgeous boyfriend to make her cheating ex jealous.

And preferably someone who can deliver a few unforgettable kisses beneath the mistletoe.

Unfortunately, finding the perfect pretend boyfriend isn't exactly easy.

Until her billionaire boss, Wilder Blaine, offers to help.

Wilder is handsome, successful, charming, and a devoted single dad. He's also desperately in need of a date for an upcoming Christmas Eve wedding.

There's just one complication.

Wilder is the best man.

Fable is the maid of honor.

And her cheating ex is also part of the wedding party.

What could possibly go wrong?

The solution seems simple enough.

Pretend to be completely in love.

Convince everyone they're the perfect couple.

Survive the holiday festivities.

And absolutely, positively, do not develop real feelings.

But their arrangement becomes much more complicated when they're thrown into a week-long Christmas competition leading up to the snowy destination wedding.

Between festive challenges, late-night preparations, holiday parties, and plenty of mistletoe, their pretend romance begins feeling surprisingly real.

Soon, the chemistry between Fable and Wilder becomes impossible to ignore.

And one passionate night changes everything.

As Christmas approaches, both must decide whether their relationship is simply a convenient holiday arrangement or the beginning of something neither expected.

Because falling in love with your billionaire boss was definitely not part of the Christmas plan.

Filled with witty banter, swoon-worthy romantic moments, holiday magic, and plenty of spice, My Favorite Holidate is the perfect Christmas romance for readers who love fake relationships that turn into something real.
