"An absorbing Yuletide romance that sparkles with humour and heart, The Twelve Nights of Christmas is the latest sensational Modern Romance from the consistently fabulous pen of USA Today best-selling author Sarah Morgan!"

Evie Anderson is having quite a difficult time. Her fiancé dumped her weeks before their wedding, her boss has demoted her from the reception desk and she’s just been kicked out of her flat! This Christmas looks set to be a miserable one for Evie, but the cheerful chambermaid is determined not to let things get her down – she just needs to find a place to live in first where she can lick her wounds and forget about her broken heart.

Luckily for her, Evie doesn’t have much time for introspection at work as Rio Zaccarelli, the owner of the hotel where she’s been working, is due to fly in for a visit – and the manager wants everything to be perfect for him, so he assigns her the task of getting the hotel’s most luxurious suite decorated for the Yuletide season. Evie loves Christmas and is determined to do the best job she can for the big boss. However, when a tired and emotionally exhausted Evie accidentally falls asleep, little does she realize that she is going to be woken by a sensuous kiss that will rock the foundations of her world!

Rio Zaccarelli was stunned when he walked into his suite and was greeted by the sight of a naked goddess in his bed. Drawn to her curvy body and her luscious Titian curls, Rio soon finds himself kissing this delectable beauty, but when he spots a lecherous paparazzo lurking in the shadows and gleefully taking his picture, Rio is incensed. The last thing the Italian billionaire needs is to have his exploits printed in the tabloids. Rio is desperate to put his playboy ways behind him and to show the world that he’s turned over a new leaf-or else risk losing everything….

Rio knows that he must find a way to fix this scandal – and what better way is there to restore his reputation than by appearing to be head over heels in love with Evie?

Evie is shocked when she finds herself swapping her maid’s uniform for couture gowns and diamond rings. She knows that their relationship is meant to be solely for the sake of the cameras, but when she begins to spend time with Rio and starts to find out the truth about the man beneath the sophisticated veneer, she finds herself falling in love with him – despite Rio telling her that he doesn’t want a relationship!

Will Evie manage to change his mind?

The Twelve Nights of Christmas is simply perfect! Sarah Morgan expertly manages to blend hilarious scenes that will have you laughing out loud with intensely moving and highly poignant moments that will have you reaching for the tissues. Sweet yet sexy, tender and emotional, The Twelve Nights of Christmas is a heart-stopping rollercoaster ride liberally spiced with secrets, passions and desires sure to keep you turning the pages late into the night.

A first-rate contemporary romance written by a writer who is at the very top of her game, The Twelve Nights of Christmas is a gift every romance reader should give herself this Christmas!
