Unfortunately for him, when an eccentric Holly kept entering his restaurant nightly with a different first date, his annoyance grew.

Once Kai became Holly's dating coach, her confidence grew. It was all going great until Kai became increasingly jealous of the connection Holly developed with another man. The more Holly fell for Kai's pick for her, the more overprotective he became. Kai quickly realized that all wasn't fair when it came to love and the holidays.

And 2: I hate Christmas. Yes, I’m a girl who hates the holidays. My entire, enormous family is already enjoying their holiday vacation in Iceland, but thanks to my busy job and having to meet them there, I’m late. They could have chosen any holiday to fly across the world, but Christmas won, which sent me scrambling because the end of the year is my busiest time. It’s difficult to carve out moments to see the family at all. So, now, I’m forty thousand feet in the air, trying to get to Iceland before Christmas morning, all while also attempting to get some work done. If only the hot guy next to me would leave me be. Dylan says I should put the work away until after my holiday and relax a bit. And while his suggestion of spending some time together on the north Atlantic island seems preposterous, I can’t help but feel intrigued when he promises to show me how to enjoy the Yuletide season properly. After all, I can’t possibly spend every minute with my family. But how do I just shrug off my duty to my job and throw caution to the wind for a stranger...no matter how handsome he is? Because that’s something else about me: I never throw caution to the wind—even a beautiful, blustery Icelandic wind.

And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.** Colin Novak is the big man on campus. Huge—if the rumors are to be believed. Nearly every girl at Davidson University has had a ride on him . . . everyone, except me. Which is fine. This frat boy may be irritatingly hot, all carved muscle with a deceptively wholesome smile, but that’s irrelevant. He’s a Sig. When I catch his fraternity cheating at the Greek Week tournament, he denies it—causing our rivalry between houses to escalate. Colin and I may have started the mud fight, but it grows into an all-out war, and ends with us expelled from our houses. Now I’m homeless and it’s all his fault. So, while answering an ad for a leading role at an adult film company wasn’t part of my career path, the work comes with a lot of perks. Steady salary. Accommodations close to campus. A safe place to explore my fantasies. Except when I show up for my audition, my partner is none other than my new archenemy—Colin. And our sexual chemistry is explosive. We hate how attracted we are to each other, and I despise that I want every scene to be with him. Because the longer we live together, the more I see he’s not who I thought he was. This frat boy was so easy to hate . . . but what if he’s even easier to love? I realized in that one moment something was terribly wrong. “I apologize,” she spoke, sounding formal. “You have me at a disadvantage.” Her hand rose in greeting. “I’m Alexandra Robbins…and you are?” I stared at her hand and then her beautiful face. The woman I had loved passionately—desperately—and still loved to this day. My former fiancée…who was looking at me with no recognition. As if I were a stranger to her. And then it hit me as I took in the emptiness in her eyes. I was. I’d spent so much time trying to find my way back to her, only to have her not remember me. One thing was for sure—I would spend my last breath trying to remind her who I was, who we were, and who we would eventually be again. All I needed was the chance to show her. |
