When the party is crashed by Niall Lord, the owner of the chain of shops, things get awkward, but the alcohol continues to flow. Luna discovers a new definition of awkward when she wakes up in bed with Lord and he propositions her…become his fiancé and shield against man-hungry women around him. In exchange, he will return her shop and become a silent partner. Can Luna keep the lie going long enough to save her shop? Can she stay in a phony arrangement without losing her heart? Lord's New Year's Caress is an erotic romantic comedy with everything at stake.
