Kylie wasn't supposed to fall into old habits. Definitely not with her. But coming home for Christmas means coming home to Malia Baker-her ex-situationship, her almost-kiss, her biggest "what if." And somehow, Malia is even more gorgeous, more sarcastic, and more dangerously charming than Kylie remembers. One fight with her girlfriend Brynn sends Kylie spiraling straight back into Malia's orbit... where the teasing looks, late-night cuddling, and whispered jokes make it way too easy to forget all the reasons they never worked the first time. And Malia? She isn't subtle. She wants Kylie back-and she isn't hiding it. Between snowstorms, family dinners, drama with Brynn, and more almost-kisses than either of them can handle, Kylie finds herself pulled into a holiday romance she never expected... And maybe always wanted. 12/5/25 #1 Kylia #1 maliabaker

Malia thought love was supposed to hurt-that surviving Bryce's moods, his anger, and his constant need to control her was just part of being with someone. At eighteen, she's already learned how to shrink herself to keep the peace. But when her best friend Dior pulls her into a pajama party with her loud, chaotic group of friends, Malia starts to see what she's been missing: Ruby's gossip, Joshua's sass, Dior's steady love-and Kylie. Kylie, with her green eyes, playful chaos, and warmth that makes Malia feel safe for the first time in forever. When Bryce threatens to unravel what little stability Malia has left, she realizes something she's never dared to say out loud before: maybe she likes him better when he's gone. Now, with Dior's support, Kylie's goofy tenderness, and a chosen family that won't let her fall apart, Malia has to decide if she's brave enough to let go of the boy who breaks her... and fall for the girl who makes her whole.
