Falling for my emotionally unavailable and annoyingly good-looking friend is not on my holiday to-do list. Jordan’s a walking, talking heartbreaker who flirts like it's his job and breezes through women faster than a nor’easter. We’ve grown up in the same small town, run with the same friend group, and he’s been my secret crush for too long. But I’ve always known better. He doesn’t do relationships, and I don’t do casual hookups—that is, until things start to shift between us. One minute we’re throwing snowballs, the next we’re tangled in Christmas lights and caught in a flirtation that feels much too real. Every holiday event finds us closer, cozier, and constantly under mistletoe that I swear wasn’t there before. I’m trying to resist. Really, I am. Yet when Jordan finally kisses me, my defenses melt faster than a snowman in July. This was supposed to be a drama-free holiday season. Instead, I’m in way over my head, and the one man I promised I’d never fall for... is the only one I want.
