She's his best friend's daughter.
He's the man she's wanted her whole damn life.
This Christmas... the rules finally break.
When twenty-two-year-old Jessa is dumped at a snowy cabin with her dad's rugged best friend, she expects boredom.
She gets Nick Carrington - grumpy, broad-shouldered, covered in sawdust, and painfully off-limits.
Jessa's loud, curvy, and done pretending she doesn't want him.
Nick's thirty-nine, lonely, and losing the fight against the brat who keeps teasing him, tempting him, wrecking his self-control.
Snowstorms trap them. Beds break. Boundaries shatter.
And when jealousy sparks and small-town gossip explodes, Nick has to decide:
Is she a forbidden holiday mistake...or the woman he's been waiting for his whole damn life?
A filthy, emotional, slow-burn-to-scorching Christmas romance with age gap tension, cabin heat, jealous possessiveness, and one unforgettable winter experience.
