Christmas in Paradise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473627874)

When event planner Jessie Steel gets the opportunity to spend the Christmas period working on the tropical Pacific island of Avali, she jumps at the chance. Sure, the location is gorgeous but more than that, she needs an excuse for avoiding her own family in the wake of her cousin's engagement news.

Aspiring politician Peni Tanielu is thriving in his role as assistant to Prince Aleki's Pacific outreach program. Working with Jessie to collaborate their boss's schedules makes everything easier, so he's happy to help her with anything she needs in Avali. But a change in location leads to a change in their relationship - and the soaring temperatures aren't just for the climate anymore!

An unlucky-in-love event planner. An uptight aspiring politician. Will sharing calendars, dances and a Pacific paradise help them see that the greatest gift of all could be right in front of them?

This book is a novella in the Pacific Passions series, but can be read as a standalone.
