Christmas with the Dean (tie-in prequel)

Ten years ago, Leyla left Miami to pursue her dreams. Carlos let her go but has regretted it ever since. As luck would have it, human resources has hired her as his new assistant and he's forced to work next to her.

Now that she's back, she's going after a new dream, which may or may not keep her in Miami.

Will he repeat the same mistake, or will he put everything he cares about in jeopardy to keep her in his life?

This second chance, office romcom is "sweet with heat" —the sex is implied, the swearing is real, and the shenanigans are laugh-out-loud funny. This story originally appeared in the anthology "Holly Jolly Rom-Com," and since you can read it in about an hour, it makes for a great "lunchtime quickie!"
