Nearly one year has passed since Hayato's and Kristal's night of passion. He's a billionaire who can have any woman he wants. So why can't he get that BBE (big beautiful elf) out of his head? And what will happen when he unexpectedly finds her again on Christmas Day?

He’s a Japanese billionaire playboy who buys all his dates to ensure they leave the next morning. I’m an elf who just wants to live a normal human life, complete with a husband and kids. My magical matchmaking cousin, Krista, insists he’s my fated love. But he doesn’t believe in relationships that last longer than a few nights, while a solid lifelong relationship is all I’ve ever wanted. It’s a good thing I’ve decided to never to see him again because there’s no way this would ever work out. Opposites like us could never last...could we? You know what, no need to answer that. I'm sure we couldn’t. ...right?

After nearly a year of obsessing, I finally have Kristal where I want her. She’ll be spending the next ten days of Christmas with me, on my terms—mostly. I still won’t entertain a relationship with my curvy one-night stand—with my issues, relationships aren’t a good idea. But one night wasn’t enough. Over the next ten days, I plan to consume every inch of the bewitching woman claiming to be an elf. The only question is will ten days be enough to get her out of my system? I have a rather bad feeling about this.

What he's doing to my heart goes way beyond mixed signals. Hayato Nakamura has made it clear that I’m nothing more than a ten-night stand to him. That’s fine. What we have is a business arrangement with amazing sex thrown in. That should be enough. It has to be enough. So why can’t I get my stupid heart to agree?

I feel her eyes on me. Sad and confused. This is why you don’t do relationships, I remind myself. You should let her go. Call off the deal. But I don't.

Ten days. That's what Kristal and I agreed to when we made our no-strings-attached relationship deal. However, we're just six days in, and I'm already trying to figure out how to keep her.
