Every holiday season, my family puts on the largest Christmas Eve party in our small town, and every year, I’m reminded of my ex-fiancé…

And how long it’s been since I’ve brought along a date.

Well, this year, it’s going to change.

When I run into my ex’s old best friend, Tucker Madison, I strike a deal with him that he can’t resist. He agrees to play my swoon worthy, lovestruck boyfriend—as long as I set him up with time to pitch a business deal to my father. Then, at the end of the holidays, Tucker can dust off his hat and ride away into the sunset. It’s perfect…

Except for one small problem.

He’s not nearly as insufferable as I remember. Beneath his frosty exterior and even icier blue eyes, is a man who might hold the key to helping me find love again…

With him.

But just when I think my unplanned feelings are the only problem, our secret agreement is suddenly on the brink of being outed. Now, I could lose my family’s trust, Tucker could lose his livelihood, and we both might lose our chance at real love.

This is not what I asked for this Christmas.
