Snowed in with Mr. Bane
(2024)(The fifth book in the Holiday Heartthrobs series)
A Story by Annelise Reynolds
Eddie
A year ago, my life turned upside down. I found out my wife was carrying another man’s child, and everything that mattered to me seemed to be slipping through my fingers. Since then, I’ve kept everyone at arm's length. I’ve become the kind of boss that people can’t stand, and the amount of assistants I've gone through is proof of that. It’s my own twisted version of self-preservation. No attachments, no second chances, and definitely no mixing business with pleasure. Those are my rules now. And I’m sticking to them… until she shows up.
Mary
Graduating college was supposed to open doors, but so far, it��s just been a string of dead-end jobs and moonlighting as a bartender to keep a roof over my head. When my friend calls me about a long-shot job with a ‘challenging’ boss, I think, why not? I can handle an asshole if it means a chance at something real. But Eddie Bane isn’t just difficult; he’s magnetic. Brooding, damaged, and fiercely protective under his gruff exterior. I expected the attitude—what I didn’t expect was to be drawn to him.
Getting involved with my boss was not in the plans, but neither was getting snowed in at the office with him during a freak blizzard. The tension that’s been building between us is thicker than the snow piling up outside. I’m not sure how much longer I can resist the pull I feel toward him… or if I even want to. Letting myself fall for Mr. Bane and giving into the desires that haunt my dreams at night might be the best decision I’ve ever made—or the biggest mistake of my life.
