An opposites-attract, holiday road trip romance.
There’s no place like home for the holidays—unless you’re newly single and facing a cross-country road trip alone.
Enter Nick Roman: brooding, gorgeous, and completely off-limits. He’s a friend of a friend who needs a ride east, and he’s offering to split the driving and cover all my expenses. It’s the perfect solution to my post-breakup budget crisis.
Until we’re trapped in a car together for three thousand miles.
I’m a sunshine-and-tinsel kind of girl heading home to my big, messy family. He’s a warrior in self-imposed exile who’d rather spend Christmas alone in the dark. I see the world in bold colors. He sees it in shades of danger. I’m Gen Z chaos. He’s millennial zaddy perfection.
We have nothing in common but our destination, which is why I definitely won’t fall for him.
Then our road trip goes sideways. A snowstorm. A postcard-perfect Christmas town. Dangerous men who are literally gunning for my travel companion.
And when I see Nick in action—lethal, focused, protective as hell—I want to trade my good-girl image for a very naughty Christmas.
Now I’m playing a dangerous game with a man who’s sworn off relationships and holidays forever. I’m discovering that getting what you want for Christmas might mean fighting for it.
And what I want is Nick Roman—body, heart, and damaged soul.
