    About this ebook

    After her dad is diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, Lilia Carrigan returns home to Wyoming. The insurance company won't cover the costs for an experimental trial that offers his best chance at surviving, and she needs a way to raise funds fast.

    Vincent Morgenstern has had a year to fulfill the clause in his dad's will that says if he doesn't marry, he'll lose out on inheriting the family business he loves so much. The deadline is New Year's Eve, and he's determined to get down the aisle, even if he has to pay the bride to be on his arm.

    When Lilia overhears his predicament at a coffee shop, the crazy solution to both their problems seems obvious. What's one year of faking it?

    But as the holiday season works its magic, their platonic partnership threatens to get very personal. Will Lilia and Vincent's December deal stay professional, or will real feelings ruin everything?

    Dana Volney

    Dana Volney lets her imagination roam free in Wyoming, where she writes romances and helps local businesses succeed with her marketing consulting company. Splitting her time between telling sexy, fast-paced suspense stories and sweet holiday romances, she likes to try new adventures in real life whenever she can (which, let’s face it, means tasting all sorts of delicious cuisines). Dana is bold, adventurous, and—by her own admission—good with corgis, having kept Sealy Two Delta, a tri-colored Pembroke, happy for ten months now.

      3.5 stars - An entertaining quick read, The December Deal is a tale of a marriage of convenience. Vincent needs a wife or control of his company goes to his uncle. Lilia needs money to make sure her father gets a potentially life saving treatment. The two strike a deal for one year. Sounds cold blooded & practical. Or is it? This was an entertaining quick read that kept my attention. The writer managed to establish a connection between the reader & the characters quickly & that keeps you reading. I felt it was too short but I assume the writer was trying to stay the length of a novella. You won't be disappointed with this story!
    • 4/5
      Short and sweet . The book is fast paced but still carried the grip.
