Unwrapping the Assistant: A Holiday Novella

Unwrapping the A Steamy Aspen Holiday Novella
This Christmas, the best gifts don't come wrapped.


CEO Justin Langston sees his assistant, Alicia Banks, as a brilliant, efficient, and ruthlessly good with numbers. The nerdy glasses and oversized sweaters are just her carefully constructed armor.


Alicia is the Ice Queen of data analytics, dedicated to her spreadsheets and her professional boundaries. Justin, the notorious playboy CEO, treats people like expiring contracts. Their dynamic is strictly business—until a last-minute audit forces them onto a private jet on Christmas Eve.

A brutal blizzard traps them in a remote, luxurious Aspen cabin with no power, no internet, and only one king-sized bed.

As the snow piles up outside, the walls Alicia built with logic and professionalism begin to crumble. Justin is fascinated by the fire beneath her composure, and when she reveals her deepest insecurities, he drops his playboy mask to become the protector she never knew she needed.

When they wake up on Christmas morning tangled in an intimate embrace, the professional distance is annihilated. The audit becomes a dangerous game of truth and desire, culminating in a passionate night by the fire where every rule is broken and every layer is shed.

He wanted her mind to save his family legacy. He got her heart, her vulnerability, and the most electrifying chaos of his life.

Get snowbound with the boss this holiday season—and watch the Ice Queen melt.
