A fake relationship with a stranger. An office romance with doughnuts and white knights. An addictive arrangement—friends with benefits—fast turns to love.
Jonah Gray is rich, successful, and the most eligible bachelor in the city, according to his mother, at least. But the truth is, despite her efforts to pair him off, he’s fine on his own. All he needs is a date to the Christmas ball.
Sacha Ivanov is a lone wolf, content in the cycle of long days, late nights, and anonymous hook ups, but when a chance encounter in a broken-down lift brings a gorgeous copper-haired CEO into his life, everything begins to change.
As Christmas fast approaches, a favour for a stranger blooms into something more. He doesn’t do second dates or relationships. But for kind-hearted Jonah, his angel in the city, he might just change his mind.
Angels in the City is a Christmas themed MM friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, office romance. Expect fraught days, steamy nights, and true love built around festive snacks and Christmas trees.

I couldn’t put it down.
Angels in the City is another book by Garrett Leigh that I’m not sure how to describe other than “wonderful.” It’s not what I would call a traditional sort of Christmas story but it does take place near the holidays. It’s a book that I would certainly read any time of the year.
Jonah meets sexy Russian Sacha when they get stuck in an elevator together. The conversation between them leads to Sacha going to a ball with Jonah as his fake boyfriend. This begins a relationship that neither of them expected, or wanted, to go beyond a one-night stand.
There is so much feeling and depth to this story. I hate it when I don’t know how to put into words what it is that I liked about a book. For Angels in the City it’s everything. There isn’t one thing about this story that I didn’t love. I didn’t even mind that there was no epilogue for Jonah and Sacha; the ending left me feeling good and the last chapter or so made me tear up because it had so much feeling in it.
