Planning one wedding shouldn’t have landed me an unlimited supply of food from my home country. Running two businesses doesn’t leave much room for dating. Good thing, too. Men treat me like an exotic toy. I guess they’ve never met a Korean girl who speaks with a Russian accent. Few dig deep enough to realize I’m from Uzbekistan, not that it helps in the exotic department. When Damian Hughes, the owner of the hotel where I’m organizing a wedding, asks me out, I ignore my attraction to him and say no. Apparently, no means he should hire me to organize a Christmas party at his hotel. The party he wants to micromanage, although I suspect he goes tablecloths shopping with me just to annoy me. I don’t want to like him. I really don’t. Why does he have to be so sweet? Obsessive, but so, so sweet, and that’s before he discovers my weakness for food. There are dishes I haven’t had since I left Uzbekistan. Damian finds them for me and bribes me into giving him a chance. So, fine. I’ll go out with him, but I’m doing it for the melons. I can’t fall for him. Because sooner or later he would say something to tear my already battered heart to pieces. If you like Shain Rose, Claire Contreras, Daisy Allen, and Heather M. Orgeron, then Scarlet Roses is for you. Scarlet Roses is an interracial multicultural contemporary billionaire romance novel with an alpha CEO hero. He falls first and keeps is as a secret desire. It’s a steamy holiday Christmas book with independent Asian heroine white man, sensual love.
