Christmas in Virgin Cove was supposed to be simpleāone last lonely holiday before I figured out what came next. But then I found Kaveh Norouzi bleeding in the snow, and a split-second decision changed everything.
One white lie. Thatās all it took.
Now, the entire Norouzi family thinks Iām engaged to Kavehāincluding Ralph, the man Iāve secretly loved since we were kids. The one who got away. The one who never looked back.
Except now, heās looking at me like I belong here. Like I belong to him.
But Kaveh wakes up with no memory of what really happened, and suddenly, Iām not just playing alongāIām trapped in a holiday fairytale I never meant to start.
A mansion filled with Christmas lights. A family who welcomes me like Iām one of their own. And Ralph... the only man Iāve ever wanted, now completely off-limits.
I should leave before this all explodes. Before Kaveh remembers. Before Ralph and I do something we canāt take back.
But if I walk away, Iāll lose the only real Christmas Iāve ever had⦠and the only man Iāve ever loved.
