Book Description
Single mom Amber Barnett loves family, kids, Christmas...and unfortunately, her boss, confirmed bachelor Michael DeFranco. It's a crush she really needs to get over. Except, when she’s temporarily forced from her apartment, her only option is to stay at Michael’s private ski lodge, where she's the housekeeper. No problem.

Attempting to save her from her matchmaking family, he announces they’re a couple. His good deed backfires when they’re instantly included in each and every holiday event in town.

But he and Amber want different things, and Michael could never be the family man she's looking for. Each book in the Snowflake Valley series is a STANDALONE story that can be enjoyed out of order. * Snowbound with Mr. Wrong * One Week to Win Her Boss

[Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives.
