Running into my ex and his new girlfriend during a business lunch with my boss is more than I can handle, causing me to panic and blurt out the first thing that comes to mind—claiming my boss is my boyfriend.
The little white lie doesn’t seem like such a big deal, considering my boss goes along with it. What ends up being a big deal is that my boss is my ex’s stepbrother, and now I’m spending Thanksgiving fake-dating my boss in front of my ex at their parents’ house.
I’ve been attracted to my boss since I started working for him three months ago. He’s been nothing but professional toward me, but once we’re at his childhood home, sharing a bed, all I can think is Oh My Gourd.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t attracted to my assistant. I’ve been fighting my feelings for so long that I finally crack when I find out my stepbrother is her ex, which leads me to go along with her lie of being her boyfriend.
Luck is still on my side as our pretend arrangement extends beyond lunch and into the holidays. Now, if I can convince her to make our fake-dating real before we return to our everyday lives, I’ll have something to be thankful for.
Turkey isn’t the only thing getting basted this Thanksgiving; let’s fall in love before dessert!
