Description
She’s the one that got away. This Christmas, with my 80-year-old grandmother as my wingman, I'm getting her back.
PAIGE
I’m a dog trainer. I can teach any unruly pup to sit, stay, and not eat the furniture. My ex-boyfriend, however, is a whole other breed. A year ago, Josh became a millionaire after creating a wildly popular video game...about dogs. My idea, by the way. I took one look at his new bank account and ran—all the way to another continent.
Now I’m home for Christmas, and his matchmaking Nana has decided it's time for a reunion. She’s deploying her secret weapon (a guilt-inducing collie) and hiding cookies in the frozen vegetable bag. She's nuts. But the way Josh still looks at me—like he remembers every stupid word I ever made up—makes me wonder if I'm the crazy one for ever leaving.
JOSH
My girlfriend—the only woman who truly understands that dogs are better than people—gave me the idea for a game that made me millions. And then she left me. Says I can’t use my money to take care of her.
Now she's back, and my 80-year-old grandmother is playing puppet master with our lives. Paige says she’s leaving after the holidays, but I see through her tough-girl act. She’s the one who got away, and I was a fool to let her go. Nana's methods may be chaotic, but she's right about one Paige belongs with me. And this time, I’m not taking no for an answer.
This holiday season, a meddling grandma, a virtual dog, and two stubborn exes are about to learn that when it comes to love, there's no such thing as a second take. Get ready for a story that's steamy, hilarious, and full of heart.
