Last Christmas, I gave you my heart.

The very next day you… stomped it into a million pieces and left town without a backward glance.

Jerk.

I know that’s not how the song goes. But, for me, that’s exactly what happened. I met the man of my dreams on Christmas Eve. We shared one magical night of passion and I thought—well, it doesn’t matter what I thought. Because, Christmas morning, he left me under the mistletoe and I never heard from him again.

Until he shows up at my best friend’s apartment in the middle of December this year. And I discover that not only did I not know my mystery lover’s true name, I never knew his identity, either.

The one night stand I had last Christmas?  He’s one of the partners for the firm I work for. So he’s my boss.

Even worse?

He’s my best friend’s brother.

It’s tough running a company. There’s no time for anything—and that includes falling in love. I haven’t been in a relationship in over a decade. It never used to bother me, though.

And then I met her.

With long legs, bright green eyes, and a body built for sin, I abandoned my “no distractions” policy and had my wicked way with her for the night. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I wanted more than that—but an emergency call had me on the first flight out of Salem.

By the time I could return to search out my Christmas lover, I realized that I had no way of finding her again. The name I moaned? It’s not hers.

I don’t know why that bothers me so much considering I lied about my own.

Now she wants nothing to do with me. I don’t blame her.

Doesn’t mean that I’m going back to California without a fight. She says it’s just sex? I’m willing to do everything I can—including playing the part of her new boyfriend for her visiting parents—to prove how wrong she is.

And how right I am for her.
