Tristan

When my best friend Jake deserted me for Christmas, it made my plans go to shit. The only bright spot is the offer to use his father’s cabin, which is better than sitting in my apartment. Alone.

But instead of the holiday vibes and cosy self-indulgence I was expecting, I’ve got frozen pipes spurting water everywhere! Forced to call the only person who can help brings up memories of the guy on the receiving end of a dare to ‘kiss the next guy who walks through the door’—Jake’s yummy dad and the guy I’ve had a big, fat crush on for years. The same guy who’s now on his way here to save me. Brilliant.

With yet another hookup gone bad, I plan to spend Christmas with me, my trusty hand… and thoughts about a guy who is way off limits. Tris. My son’s best friend. The guy who threw himself at me on a dare three years ago. Whose kiss has stopped me from kissing anyone else since.

That is until said guy calls from my cabin needing my help. Being around Tris—whose holiday attire consists of the shortest shorts known to man—is really testing my patience. Instead of the quick in-and-out repair I was hoping for, a snowstorm is now keeping me stranded at the cabin with him. Alone. How am I going to fight my longstanding attraction to him when he’s constantly in my face, shaking that cute butt of his? Yeah, you guessed it… I’m screwed.
