After getting dumped via email on Christmas Eve by the boyfriend I haven’t seen in months, I wake up alone in my empty apartment, sure my first New York Christmas can’t get any suckier…
Apparently, yes, it can, because my decision to catch up on my work leaves me snowbound in my company’s flagship department store on Fifth Avenue with my boss’s far-too-tempting billionaire playboy son, Ryder Sinclair.
Ryder’s rugged, reckless, and none too pleased to be stuck in a place he hates with an uptight workaholic like me — but as the night draws on, the lights go out, secrets are revealed, and the temperature heats up to scorching… Until we both end up on Santa’s naughty list!
After the hottest Christmas night ever, though, I know my carefully-guarded heart is in big trouble, because I’m beginning to believe my first ever Christmas wish might actually come true, too…
