Emily
That’s exactly what I did when I kissed the town bad boy outside my bookstore one Christmas Eve. Everyone in town blamed him for the car accident he’d survived, which was baloney. I knew he deserved some kindness.
But the kiss was a lot hotter than expected. It unleashed some sort of madness in me, and I ran inside the shop to grab a book for him. I knew in my soul it would help him heal.
I didn’t tell him I wrote it, but when he returns to town for the holidays years later, he knows. Worse: he has a tattoo on his arm inspired by my book, and he wants all of my secrets.
That makes Miles Public Enemy Number One. Because four years have changed a lot—for one thing, I’m best friends with his sister, and for another…
The life I’ve built in this town depends on me keeping my secrets.

Kissing Emily was definitely not a mistake.
I aim to prove that to her, even if she’s not currently my Number One Fan.
Joining her retirement home book club?
Sure, I’ll even dress up.
Selling Christmas trees to tourists outside her shop?
I’ll throw in an ornament.
But the closer I get to Emily, the more I realize the girl who saved me might need saving right back.
