Mistletoe Promise by Richard Paul Evans (2014)

Continuing my streak of Christmas novels, this one intrigued me. A man walks up to a woman in a food court and asks if she could pretend to be his girlfriend for the couple of months before Christmas, so he would not have to attend holiday parties alone. She had seen him in the building, but had never talked to him, but she too is lonely and takes him up on it. The deal is he pays for meals, transportation and sends her a gift every weekday. She just has to be nice to him and maybe hold hands every once in a while in public to uphold the image. Of course they get to know each other, fall in love, etc., but quite a few other issues get resolved through the process. May be worth trying something else from this author.
