HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR RETAIL JOB DURING THE HOLIDAYS is available in paperback and ebook. It’s the holiday rom-com that you’ve been needing! There are a ton of rules to surviving your job during the holidays-- the customer is always right, be a team player, and make it through the holidays in one piece. Virginia Perez is stuck in her crappy retail job when her coworkers invite her out for a night of fun, and against her better judgement, she agrees in hopes that it would take her mind off the hell that is retail.

Max Thomas wasn't looking for love when he took a beautiful stranger to bed that night, just a distraction from the impending responsibilities of having to take over the family business.

But everything goes wrong when he sees her again.

Black Friday is the worst day of the year and Virginia's day only gets worse when she recognizes her one night stand as the new CEO of H. Moda and her boss!

Can Virginia pretend to be professional when he keeps looking at her like he's seen her naked? Will this be the year her job finally kills her?

Or will she be able to survive her job during the holidays?
