"We kissed, just for a moment: long enough for our lips to touch, fast enough for me to pull away, whispering in the same breath we shared that it was a mistake and had to stay our secret. Then I left him standing there, my lip gloss still smudged on his lips."
Clara Bowman, a meticulous rule-follower and habitual worrier, has always spent Christmas alone. That is, until she met Natalie, her best friend, and discovered a family she never had. Now, she spends the holidays at Natalie's mountain cabin, where she must follow one unbreakable rule: never, ever get involved with Jackson Northe.
Jackson is hockey's brightest superstar: the captain of the Edmonton Northern Rush, fans' favourite heartthrob, and Natalie's older brother.
Last Christmas, one mistake underneath the mistletoe made Clara a rule breaker.
Now, back at the cabin together, avoiding Jackson is nearly impossible. Every glance, every touch, threatens to reignite their spark that could destroy everything.
This Christmas, Clara has to decide what she's willing to break: the rules or her heart.
