Mia's Christmas Survival Plan:
? 1. Survive being maid of honor at her ex's wedding
? 2. Shut down pity invites with "I'm dating Slade Carter" (the town's legendary recluse -- untouchable, unmovable, and guaranteed not to show up)
? 3. Never tell actual Slade about her little lie...

Too bad he found out.

Now he's here -- all brooding muscle and quiet intensity, stalking into the wedding like a winter storm. And he's playing his role too well: hands possessive on her waist, voice a rough growl in her ear, "You started this, darling. I'm just finishing it."

The more he leans into the act, the harder it gets to remember it's fake. Especially when:
?? A snowstorm traps them together at the town's only inn (one bed, of course)
? Mistletoe keeps mysteriously appearing over their heads
? And Slade's whispered "mine" starts sounding less like pretend... and more like a promise

But when the last ornament is packed away, Mia will have to decide:
Is this just a holiday fling -- or her ever after?
