A small Christmas romance for this festive season. : : : A Billionaire (Logan) engaged to her new love, ventures home for Christmas to make things right with her first love (Olly). What could possibly go wrong "What?" I asked, a soft laugh escaping me. "Nothing," she said, her lips curving into a secret smile. "I just need to photograph you like this." "Why?" I asked, curious. "Because I can't help myself, Olly," she whispered, her gaze fixed on me, a quiet intensity in her words. She leaned in, her fingers cold but gentle against my skin, a sensation I wouldn't mind staying with me, gradually warming with each passing second. Her lips parted softly, and I didn't move, allowing her to close the distance between us. The kiss was tender, almost tentative, but it sent a shock through me, a spark that set my heart on fire. My hands instinctively found their way around her, fingers brushing through the dark strands of her hair, which spilled out from beneath her coat. She tilted her head, and a few strands of hair brushed my face, tickling my brow and forehead. Her kiss grew...

Noa never forgot Eli-the best friend she secretly loved in high school before she had to leave without warning. A decade later, Noa has become a renowned photographer, known for capturing people in ways they've never seen themselves. Eli, now one of the world's top models, is untouchable-effortlessly beautiful, endlessly photographed, and always just out of reach. When Noa is unexpectedly assigned to shoot Eli for a major campaign, she braces herself for the inevitable collision of past and present. But when Eli greets her with the same easy charm she had all those years ago-without the slightest hint of recognition-Noa makes a choice. She doesn't remind her. What starts as a professional partnership turns into something more complicated. As they travel from city to city, working in foreign studios and sunlit sets, Noa watches Eli through her lens, searching for traces of the girl she used to know. The way she tilts her head, the way she laughs, the way she bites her lip when she's thinking-it's all still there. And yet, Eli remains distant, unknowingly standing on the other side of a story she doesn't remember. Noa tells herself it's enough to be near her again, to exist in Eli's world, even if she can never say what she really feels. But emotions are harder to edit out than a photograph, and the more time they spend together, the more Eli begins to notice the way Noa looks at her. Somewhere between the shutter clicks and stolen moments, Eli remembers and starts to wonder: has Noa always seen her this way?
