Description

🎄
When the spicy “exes with benefits” summer fling escalates to a “fake dating for the holidays” rom com full of kick-your-feet feelings, performed in DUET narration by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross! 🎁


A booty call with your ex? Bad decision, Rory.

I really thought it would be a one-time thing. A hormonal moment of weakness where I text him a funny ha-ha realization that I’m ovulating and he knows what that means–I can’t turn my brain off. He used to be so good at helping with that…

Then Garrett shows up very quickly. Bickering leads to banging, and it’s better than ever, raw and real and super satisfying. So maybe we didn't work out as a couple, but “exes with benefits” has a nice ring to it, at least until I finish my residency. Just once a month.

A Christmas road trip? Disaster ahead, Garrett. 

I know I messed up when I broke Rory’s heart eight months ago. 

I also know we can’t spend more than ninety minutes together without everything crumbling, and the drive back to Pine Harbour is six times that long. Too bad leaving Rory behind—or for good—just isn’t an option. Whether she likes it or not, I’m her guy. Her ride home. 

Which means when we arrive at her parents’ Christmas tree farm and discover her sister in tears over a breakup of her own, and Rory takes one pleading look at me… Suddenly I’m her “boyfriend” again. 

And there’s only one bed.


Fake dating your ex to save Christmas…what could go wrong?


A brand new Christmas rom com that weaves cozy whimsy and sizzling heat throughout a very festive happily ever after from New York Times bestselling author Zoe York!

TROPES:

🎄 small town holiday rom com

🎁 second chance: exes with benefits + faking dating your ex (oops)

🎄 forced proximity: road trip home for Christmas + there’s only one bed
🎁 grumpy/sunshine x black cat/golden retriever mashup (situation specific!)

NOTE: This book starts with spice. If that isn't clear from the blurb, please note that this is the dedication in the ebook and paperback:

For the reader who said, and I quote, “but do we have to wait until 54% for him to lick her nipple?” In this book, you do not!
