Stuffed

I'm giving all my thanks this holiday season to my thick, brawny boss… Thoren Falk is the heart and soul behind Falk's Fikabröd, the beloved Swedish bakery in Deepwood Mountain. But to me, he's so much more—the shy, older Viking of my dreams with icy blue eyes and rugged hands that make my stomach do cartwheels. When Thoren's family arrives for their first American Thanksgiving, they assume I'm his girlfriend. To save him from his mother's relentless matchmaking, he begs me to play along. Even promising a hefty raise. Easy as pie. Or should I say, paj. The problem is there's no faking how much I enjoy spending time with him and his family in his cozy mountain cabin, preparing meals and learning Swedish traditions. The line between pretend and real starts to blur. Every stolen glance and lingering touch makes it harder to keep up the act. I'm having too much fun being Thoren's girlfriend to let it end, and deep down, I'm hoping he feels the same. Stuffed is a short, steamy, holiday romance with a burly Nordic baker who never imagined his beautiful young assistant could want him. But as Thanksgiving unfolds, Thoren discovers he has a lot more to be thankful for…
