Abby After my sister and I lost our parents, life has been up in the air. The only thing we’ve been able to hold onto is our pact to spend every Christmas together, avoiding it like the plague. That’s exactly what I’m doing when a deliciously dimpled man introduces himself the first day I arrive in Cringle Cove. There’s nothing wrong with making a friend, right? Until our easy friendship turns into a hellacious crush and a favor bred from nightmares. For the first time ever, I’d kill for a Christmas miracle. Dex For someone who loves everything about the holidays, mine are sure getting off to a terrible start. The worst part? I promised my ex I wouldn’t tell a soul we’d ended things until we’re far away from Cringle Cove. At least I’m in the most festive town in the country. If everything else goes to hell this week, I’ve got that. I’m hiding out in a coffee shop when I see Abby. She’s awkward, sarcastic, and obviously miserable here. I’ve never wanted anyone more.
