SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROMANTIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARDS 2026
‘Fun, fresh and always sexy – Anise Starre knows romance’ HANNAH GRACE
‘This flirty, slow burn romance is filled with fabulous banter and holiday charm’ FARRAH ROCHON
‘I burned through these pages for the hot kitchen scenes and the cold nights’ JOYA GOFFNEY
A Christmas romance featuring a personal chef who is snowed-in with her least favourite client – a sexy but miserable technopreneur.
The only thing personal chef Noelle Jones loves more than cooking is Christmas. She has a roster of extremely wealthy clients, including the elusive and stoic Alexander Hoxton.
When he asks her to cook a last-minute business meal he’s having, offering triple her pay for the short notice, Noelle jumps at the chance. It’s easy money, one of her favourite dishes and she'll still have plenty of time to get to her family’s annual Christmas reunion.
But, when a sudden blizzard leaves Noelle snowed-in with Alexander, she quickly realises he wants absolutely nothing to do with anything festive. Stuck with a veritable grinch, she’s sure this Christmas is about to become one of her worst . . .
