They better make room for one more this Christmas!Getting snowed in with his sexy assistant, Faye Darby, is difficult enough. But when an abandoned baby is found in the stables Piers Luckman has to step up, taking responsibility for the little one. But this die-hard bachelor soon finds himself yearning for a more permanent family this Christmas…

Snowbound with the boss—and a baby! Only from USA TODAY bestselling author Yvonne Lindsay.

When his assistant finds an abandoned baby at his family’s lodge, wealthy Piers Luckman takes full responsibility. He might be clueless about children, but being snowbound with his capable, sexy employee has its benefits. Except Faye Darby shies away from little Casey and wants nothing to do with baby-rearing, Christmas...or the smoldering attraction between her and her boss. For the first time in his life, Piers must fight for what he wants—this little family...and Faye by his side and in his bed.

“This little one isn’t going to grow up alone,” Piers said.

He kept his gaze on the baby in his arms and added, “I will always be there for him.”

“You don’t even know for sure he’s your brother’s child,” Faye protested.

Piers caressed the baby’s cheek. “It fits. I want to offer him the kind of life he deserves.”

His words made something twist deep in Faye’s chest. Made her see another side of him that was all too appealing. It was the baby. It had to be. After the terrible tragedy she’d been through thirteen years ago, she’d learned to inure herself to getting involved, to forming an emotional bond.

And here she was, stranded with a man who appealed to her on so many levels, despite her best efforts to keep her reactions under control—and a helpless infant who called on those old instincts she thought she’d suppressed.

She knew he was determined to get to the root of why she was so unwavering about having nothing to do with the baby. Or him.

She couldn’t give in to temptation.

To my wonderful friends,

who often know me better than I know myself.

In particular to Nalini, Nicky and Peta for

prompting (aka pestering) me to write this book

while I stared with loathing (yes, I’m a Grinch)

at a Christmas tree, and to Shar,

who couldn’t make it that night

but who would have been pestering, ahem,

prompting me right along with them.
