Emma Campbell was just trying to get out of the house. After spending the day with her holly-jolly mother, she needed to decompress and *drink*. Then, Seth Phillips walked in. Cocky, persistent and infuriatingly brilliant, Seth had been her childhood nemesis, the rival who'd irritated her all the way from elementary through high school. But, he hadn't had that jawline then. Or those broad shoulders. Or that *perfect* ass... After a moment of weakness (well, more like three, but who's counting) Emma has to survive the holidays, navigate familial obligations, and stay away from the maddening man that she can't seem to resist.
