Dear Santa, I swear I didn’t ask to fake date my brother’s grumpy best friend this Christmas—especially since he’s also my newest client…
My job sounded simple: find a date for Rowan, the sexy single-dad hockey star, for his team’s big Christmas Eve gala. But when the holiday hater bets I can’t find him a plus-one, I step in as his stand-in date to prove him wrong.
Only our fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions start to feel a little too real. Between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night by the fire (where the stockings aren’t the only thing hung), I’m in over my elf-loving head.
And when Rowan finally opens up about his painful past, I’m determined to give my brother’s best friend the holiday he deserves.
But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season… is me?
