Reunited ex-friends become lovers in this novella about a womanβs holiday homecoming from a New York Timesβbestselling author.
After a messy breakup, Leigh Holloway is ready to start her life over. Until her parents put the family home on the market and call her back for one final, memory-making Christmas. The last thing she wants to do is deprive her mom of the perfect holiday, so sheβll lie her way through the visit and worry about her future in the New Year. Too bad the only bar in town is owned by a guy she seriously wronged in high school.
Leighβs best friend broke Croy Dawsonβs heart, and Croy knows it was Leighβs fault. Theyβve never liked each other, but Croy isnβt cruel: heβd never turn away a pretty woman in need of some family-Christmas fortification. He doesnβt expect her to drink just enough candy-cane martinis to tell him her secretsβand he definitely doesnβt expect to get caught up in her holiday madness.
Despite the surprising love and laughter, Croy and Leigh canβt escape the truth: he canβt walk away from his family obligations and she has a life and career to reboot. But anything is possible if your holiday comes with a twist . . .
