He Wants for Nothing. She Ruins That Faster Than a Kiwi Sunburn.
New Release This Friday (11/14): Claimed for Christmas by My Billionaire Boss
He wants for nothing.
She ruins that faster than a Kiwi summer sunburn.
Environmental consultant Layla Hayes flies to New Zealand to audit a luxury eco-retreat—penguins to protect, dunes to defend, and zero plans to fall for her billionaire boss.
Barrett Harrington usually gets what he wants… except for the woman who keeps telling him “no” while looking at him like a risk worth taking.
Christmas lights. Southern-summer heat. One bed that was definitely not on the itinerary.
The chemistry is immediate. Acting on it? Slow burn. But once they cross that line, there’s no going back—especially when the board drags them to Seattle and careers, reputations, and the project are suddenly on the line. Steamy, witty, a little bit Kiwi. Slow burn → high heat. HEA guaranteed.
Tropes: Billionaire boss • Age gap (41/25) • Forced proximity / one bed • Workplace tension • Virgin heroine • Holiday romance • Fish-out-of-water • Touch-her-and-die vibes
👉 Do me a favor? Add it to your Want to Read shelf (it helps a ton!), and if you’re excited for the slow burn, tell me in the comments.

P.S. NZ readers: yes, there’s a penguin cameo. No, there are no fairy lights on the dunes. We’re well-behaved. Mostly.
