Olive just wants a quiet Christmas in which she doesn't have to deal with her emotions. Being stuck fake dating her work nemesis at a Vermont Christmas Lodge with her family is NOT what she had in mind. 

She doesn't date coworkers and Miles gets under her skin in the worst way. Or maybe, it's not the worst. Because Miles sees her for who she is and she can't hide behind the sham of her emotional mask anymore. Maybe he's the key to dealing with her emotional baggage.

Hi, hello, where have I been that this is my first Cindy Steel book?! This is was EXCELLENT. The flirting and banter and chemistry were beyond compelling. I loved Olive and Miles and the hurdles they had to jump through to be get their HEA. They dealt with some heavy stuff but it was believable and woven in with the shenanigans so well. Top Christmas read of 2023 for me.
