About this ebook
Reunited ex-friends become lovers in this novella about a woman’s holiday homecoming from a New York Times–bestselling 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 she’ll 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.
Leigh’s best friend broke Croy Dawson’s heart, and Croy knows it was Leigh’s fault. They’ve never liked each other, but Croy isn’t cruel: he’d never turn away a pretty woman in need of some family-Christmas fortification. He doesn’t expect her to drink just enough candy-cane martinis to tell him her secrets—and he definitely doesn’t expect to get caught up in her holiday madness.
Despite the surprising love and laughter, Croy and Leigh can’t escape the truth: he can’t 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 . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a sweet story about second chances at family and love. Croy was sweet with a little bit of laidback qualities and the ability to sweet talk Leigh into staying and seeing what happens. Leigh was a adrift at what she was doing with her life and found an anchor in a childhood friend. Their relationship was full of possibilities and each chose the best outcome for themselves. The best outcome for us readers, too. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.
