    About this ebook



    Mr. December: Duncan Patrick, CEO Scrooge

    His Objective: Lose the "bah humbug" attitude

    His Plan: Find the right (temporary) mistress

    A powerful businessman, Duncan didn't like ultimatums, unless he was making them. But the board demanded his public image change. When he encountered sweet kindergarten teacher Annie McCoy, he knew she'd make him look like a perfect angel, though it would take some devilish manipulation.

    Once he had Annie playing his pretend mistress, Duncan needed to make her his real-life lover. Could a grouchy CEO cultivate the charm necessary to win the woman he'd almost destroyed?
