Noelle "Elle" Rudolph loves her work, her cute Harlem brownstone, and drinks with the ladies. She is accomplished in every way, except for the ones that matter most to her Caribbean family--marriage and children. Their incessant prodding and joking is something Elle refuses to deal with this holiday season. When Elle runs out of options, a friend jokingly suggests she hire someone. But she couldn't possibly buy a boyfriend for Christmas. Or could she?She hires elite gigolo, Nicholas "Cole" Partridge, off an elite escort agency website but when they meet, the reunion isn't all mistletoe and candy cane. His luscious lips and turquoise eyes have her hot with anger and desire. Cole assures Elle that they will pull off the ruse with success, but when relationship rehearsals go too far, and the lines between business and pleasure are blurred, Elle and Cole realize there is so much more at stake- their hearts.
