Billionaire’s Secret Santa
This steamy offering from artisan romance novelist Lena Michaels is another unstoppable hit.

This story actually started in February.
It was nowhere near the Christmas Season.
I remember sitting with a cup of coffee while snow was melting outside my window when a scene popped into my head so clearly I laughed out loud.
A woman in a ridiculous elf costume.
A charity party filled with powerful people.
And a moment where she trips, quite literally, into the arms of Santa who smells like expensive cologne and bad decisions.
He kisses her under the mistletoe and then disappears.
At the time I had no idea that stranger would be Bruce DeVos.
Readers of the DeVos family already know the reputation. Billionaires with sharp instincts, bigger ambitions, and just enough charm to make trouble look effortless. But Bruce... Bruce is the one who hides his heart behind humor.
He's the cousin who grins when the others are serious. The one who looks relaxed even when boardroom deals worth millions are on the line.
Which made him the perfect man to throw into a story full of holiday chaos, corporate intrigue, and one unforgettable kiss.
The woman he meets that night never learns his identity and \ later when she walks into a sleek executive office for what she thinks is a routine job tour...
The CEO waiting for her is the same man who kissed her under the mistletoe.
I loved writing this story because it blends all the things that make holiday romance irresistible. Glittering parties. Secret identities. Billionaires who suddenly discover that the one woman they can't stop thinking about is the one person who refuses to be impressed by them.
Add in a little corporate tension, some mischievous DeVos family teasing, and just enough Christmas magic to make everything feel possible, and Bruce and Holly's story quickly became one of my favorites.
Because sometimes the best love stories begin with a mistake.
And sometimes they begin ten months before Christmas... when a writer suddenly realizes she's about to spend the rest of the year thinking about a billionaire who can't forget the woman he met under the mistletoe.
If you love billionaire holiday romance with witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and a little bit of festive magic, Bruce and Holly's story will be the gift you didn't know you needed. 🎄💋
