THE HOLIDAY APPEAL: LOCKED IN WITH MY LEGAL RIVAL

Story Description

The law says they have to be rivals. The blizzard says they have to be roommates.

Julian Blackstone is the "Prince of Manhattan"—a playboy lawyer with a shark’s grin and a family dynasty that rules the New York courts. To him, the holidays are nothing more than a marketing scam, and love is a contract he refuses to sign. He’s the ultimate holiday cynic, until he meets the only woman who can match his wit.

Clara Sterling is the "Ice Queen" of the courtroom. She’s worked twice as hard as Julian for half the recognition, and she has no time for his billion-dollar charm. She’s a holiday overachiever who hides her heart behind power suits and a sharp tongue.

When a high-stakes merger drags them to a luxury chateau in the French Alps, a record-breaking blizzard strikes, shutting down the mountain. The "Modern Royalty" of the legal world are stripped of their power and forced into the same Executive Suite.

One bottle of vintage Scotch.

One roaring fireplace.

And—due to a "lucky" hotel error—only one bed.

As the snow piles up outside, the "Holiday Lucky Magic" of the old chateau begins to take hold. In the heat of their rivalry, the line between hate and desire starts to blur. Will Julian win his greatest case yet, or will the Ice Queen finally get him to settle?

But when the snow melts and the 'Holiday Lucky Magic' fades, the real trial begins. Back in the concrete jungle of New York, Julian must choose between his family’s billion-dollar throne and the woman who finally thawed his heart. Forced into a life of exile, the Prince of Manhattan and the Ice Queen must team up to take down an empire—one forbidden kiss at a time.
