One Weekend in Vienna by Darby Fox

Spend the holidays with her brother’s biggest rival?

Anna Jager would rather skate naked in sub-zero temperatures. But when her dream promotion depends on her playing tour guide for Max Walker – the NHL’s golden boy – her holiday spirit takes a serious hit. Sure, Max’s talent, charm, and movie-star looks might win him loads of adoring fans – including her boss; but Anna knows the truth: he’s arrogant, stubborn, and as cold-hearted as the ice he skates on.
Max only cares about one thing—hockey. A Christmas campaign in Vienna? Not exactly his scene. But seeing Anna again sparks a fire he thought he’d put on ice. She’s smart, gorgeous, and completely immune to his charm. That shouldn’t be a turn-on, but Max has never backed down from a challenge—even if the last time he saw Anna, it earned him a bloody nose courtesy of her brother.
Forced together by a hotel room mix-up and an itinerary packed with holiday cheer, their simmering attraction starts to thaw their frosty grudge. But with sparks flying and old rivalries heating up, they may find that playing with fire just might melt their icy hearts.

**For fans of rivals-to-lovers, forced proximity, and forbidden romance, this steamy holiday novella satisfies all the cozy Christmas vibes you’re craving!
