The Christmas Playbook

One cabin. One week. One fake relationship. Winter break was supposed to be easy: one last trip with my best friends, a little snowboarding, maybe some hot cocoa spiked with something stronger. No drama, no strings. Then my cabin got double-booked. Enter Mira Winters-my childhood neighbor and crush. And somehow, the girl managed to get even prettier since the last time I saw her. She's got one problem: her family makes mine look like a walk in the park, and she'd rather fake a boyfriend than deal with their constant judgement. Guess who she asks to step up? Yours truly. It's supposed to be for show. Hold her hand. Steal a kiss under the mistletoe. Pretend I'm head over heels for her. Easy. Right? Except the more we play this game, the more I want it to be real. And suddenly I'm less worried about the score her family is keeping and more about what happens when the week is over-because for the first time in a long time, I'm all in. This Christmas, I don't just want to win the game.¿ I want the girl.
