The Novel: Forbidden Kisses with Her Millionaire Boss

The Author: Hana Sheik

The Guests: Aaron and Bree, co-hosts of The Categorically Romance Podcast

The Synopsis:
Heiress Lin dreams of a life different from the one that’s been planned for her. Traveling from Kenya to Canada to work for renowned tycoon Karl on a Kwanzaa-themed event is thrilling—and their instant, off-limits attraction blows her away! By the time the seven days of Kwanzaa arrive, even the snow outside can’t cool the sparks between them—especially after their sizzling kiss… But Karl’s a closed book, so will Lin dare to trust in their unique connection?

*Please Note* I accidentally call this book, Forbidden Kisses with her Millionaire like three times in this book! Apologies to all.
