Jake Henderson and I spent some long, hot days together, stealing kisses behind his dad’s auto shop. But the summer ended, and he broke my heart–I packed up the pieces and left town, vowing he’d never hurt me again.
When I come home for the holidays twelve years later and get paired up with Jake on a local Christmas event, I feel like the universe is pranking me. I might be the youngest female ad executive in my company, but he makes me feel like the shy, awkward girl I used to be. It takes all my newfound bravado to act like his rejection meant nothing.
But spending time with Jake brings out unexpected feelings, ones that pull on my heart. He's kind to his mother, helps the town bring Santa to life, and makes me breathless on the hood of his restored muscle car.
I have a life to get back to, one where Jake is just a memory. But I can't ignore this unexpected gift.
I wasn't looking for love this Christmas, but it looks like it found me.
