Except, when Arjun - her colleague, and unfortunately, also the man she's terribly attracted to - comes knocking on her doorstep on a snowy Christmas Eve, bringing her kids presents and sharing wine with her in her kitchen, Maahi suddenly finds the walls around herself crumbling down. And so, when he asks her to promise him a night when she'd let go, she agrees. After all, he's leaving the town on Christmas morning to spend the rest of the holidays with his family.
But then, the night unfolds into something unexpected, and Maahi suddenly finds herself wishing for things she cannot have. Can she really trust her heart again, especially when she knew what it led to?All Rights Reserved

The first Christmas she's been home since she started working for the Fortune 500 company that hired her from college, almost ten years ago. The only reason why she's going home is to meet her brother's new wife and her parents threatened to cut her out of the will if she didn't make time to see her family. However, it's snowing, a blizzard and Bella's car wasn't really designed for the cold. Or snow. Or anything other than sunny, perfect weather.

His family was long gone and all he had left was his family business, Cullen Towing Service and Garage, though that wasn't going well for him. Business was slow. His bills were piling up and he was afraid he was going to lose his livelihood if something didn't turn around. Over the radio, he heard about a stranded driver, stuck on the back road.

Her brother, Jasper, pretty told him to fuck off and said that she was too good for him, a grease-monkey, a blue-collar boy. Can this uptown girl fall for a guy with grease on his hands?
