Santa's Candy Cane

Christmas and I don’t mix.

Never have, never will.

Then my best friend’s little sister, the girl who once sat on my lap in a Santa suit and asked if I had a candy cane in my pocket, walks back into my life.

She’s sunshine. I’m frostbite.

She’s broke. I’m a billionaire with a reputation to fix.

So I make her a pretend to be my girlfriend until Christmas, and I’ll change her life.

Easy… until we land in NYC and the fake dates start feeling real.

Until her smile ruins me.

Until I’m kissing her like she’s the only gift I’ll ever want.

This was supposed to be a bet.

A stunt.

A win.

Instead?

She’s the one woman I can’t lose…even if she’s the only person who knows exactly how to melt me.
