Blurb:
Belgium expat Benoit Girault has only worked in the
administrative department of Toys for All in Milwaukee for a few short months,
but it’s long enough for him to miss everyone back home and to fall for
coworker Jake Manning—not that Jake ever notices him. Or so Benoit thinks.
Jake notices Benoit all right, but he doesn’t want
to risk mixing business with pleasure, not when it could create problems in the
office. So when Jake’s friend and boss, Randall, tells him to team up with
Benoit to organize a Saint Nicholas party, he’s less than thrilled. But as they
work together and Jake nurses Benoit through an illness, he realizes some
people might be worth risking it all for.

Excerpt:
YOU WANT me to do what?”
Jake’s boss smiled at him as if he were asking
nothing much—the bastard. Randall knew exactly what he was doing, just like he
knew Jake would react like he did. He hated parties, and everyone in the office
knew it.
“Organize a party for the new clients.”
“Janet usually organizes the parties.”
“She’s busy with another contract. The Belgian
clients are yours, Jake. It seems obvious to me that you should be the one in
charge of this.”
“But I don’t know anything about the saint you’re
talking about.”
“You have enough time to learn something about him
and about the Belgian traditions that go with it.”
“You can’t do this to me, Randall. Please. I’m
already busy with this new contract. I don’t have time to organize a party.”
“The clients were delighted when I told them there
would be a party.”
Jake gaped at his boss. “You told them?”
“Of course. When Mr. Leblanc said he was bringing
his wife and son along, I just knew we had to do something for the kid.”
“Someone could take him to the zoo,” Jake muttered.
“Jake, we’re a toy company. Why would we take a kid
to the zoo?”
“It’s not like we actually have the toys in this
office. That’s what the stores are for.”
Randall set his jaw and narrowed his eyes. He
obviously wasn’t going to be swayed by Jake’s protests. But what about
pleading? “Randall, I just don’t have the time to do everything on my own,
especially if you want a kiddie party.”
“That’s why Benoit is going to help you.”

Meet the author:
Catherine Lievens has always loved books. She’s not
sure how she managed to marry a man who doesn’t read, but she deals with it and
buys enough books for both of them. Just ask him—he frequently wonders if the
books on her shelves mate with each other to produce new ones. She never told
him it’s only her buying more books.
After brushing up her English to graduate in English
language and translation, she decided to put it to good use and write the
characters she always dreamt of. She likes writing about creatures people say
don’t exist, like shifters and harpies, because her life’s too boring to write
about what she knows, and she always wanted to be a cat anyway.
