"We kissed, just for a moment: long enough for our lips to touch, fast enough for me to pull away, terrified and whispering in the same breath we shared that it was a mistake and had to stay a secret. Then I left him standing there, my lipgloss still smudged on his lips."
Clara, estranged from her family, always spent Christmas alone until she met Natalie, her best friend. Now she spends the holiday with Natalie's family, who she's come to call her own, at their cabin in the mountains, bound by one unbreakable rule: never, ever get involved with Jackson Northe. He's the superstar captain of the Edmonton Northern Rush, hockey's favourite heartthrob, and most importantly Natalie's older brother.
Last Christmas, Clara broke that promise. She and Jackson kissed underneath the mistletoe, and even though she called it nothing but a mistake, it felt anything but. Consumed by guilt and fear over betraying Natalie, she's avoided Jackson ever since. Now, trapped together again in the cabin, the sparks between Jackson and Clara threaten to ignite once more-only this time it could blow everything up.
Can Clara and Jackson ever admit their true feelings, or will their love stay underneath the mistletoe?
