About this ebook
Maisie
Bah-freaking-humbug!
There! I said it! I love Christmas, but being stuck in a car for days with Scrooge McScroogington is enough to make even the most holiday-prone woman wish for the doldrums of February. Worse, Eli McSpadden gets under my skin by just…breathing! Have I mentioned he's my ex who broke up with me on Valentine's eve last year? Yeah, Mr.-Gorgeous-and-I-Know-It is the one who broke my heart. But I'm over him.
And I hate him.
Eli
I'm a stupid jerk.
There! I said it. When my company relocated me with no noticed last winter, I did the one thing I thought was best. I broke up with the girl I love. I told her we both needed to set down roots in our separate cities. The thought of her "rooting" with anyone else eats at me, but what could I do? Her life is at her university; mine is wherever I get sent.
It took three seconds for me to realize I made a huge mistake, and now, that I'm back in town and we're both heading home for the holidays, I'm going to make it right and hopefully not end up in a ditch—physically and emotionally—while I'm trying.

No, Mom!
I protested. I’ll just hang out in my apartment. I’ll be fine. Lots of people do it. And I’ll be on campus. I’m sure there will be a get-together for those of us stuck here.
Maisie Donovan, are you telling me you’d rather stay there at school than come home for Christmas?
Of course not, but it’s not like I made the blizzard and grounded air traffic—
But you won’t take the perfectly good ride I got you?
Eli McSpadden was not a perfectly good ride. He was my asshole ex-boyfriend who’d broken up with me last Valentine’s Day. Okay, well, technically, it wasn’t Valentine’s Day. It was the eve of V-day. And now, my mom thought it was a great idea for me to drive across country with him from WSU in Washington to Cherish Cove, our small town in Michigan?
Yes, I could ride with him, but one of us might not survive. Who that would be remained to be seen, because I didn’t think I could get out of this.
"You remember that he broke up with me, right?"
Yes. Don’t be so dramatic. People break up and stay friends all the time. Maybe you can try that.
Maybe. I could. Try that. I closed my eyes and broke the cardinal rule. I prayed for patience.
Look, you’re already packed because you didn’t know the freak storm would shut down everything. Just get in the car with him and come home.
Mom, no.
If you didn’t go to school so far away—
"Do you know why I came to school here?
