Jake "Every Time" Evans has two speeds: fast on the track and faster in life. But when it comes to matters of the heart, he's learned the hard way that some risks aren't worth taking. That is, until a blast from Christmas past shows up again—right in the middle of the holiday chaos. Smart, witty, and heartbreakingly familiar, Georgia Warren might just be the most irresistible (and irritating) surprise of all . . . and she's got a mission that could throw both their hearts into overdrive.

As a junior wish coordinator for the Wish Project, Georgia has earned a PhD in wish fulfillment—not hers, mind you, but other people's. She didn't come back to relive old heartbreaks, though. She came with a plan: convince Jake to help a little boy make the ultimate Christmas wish come true. He agrees—on one condition: she must be his personal assistant for the week.

When it comes to making wishes come true, Georgia will do just about anything—as long as it doesn't include losing her heart again. But when Christmas Past and Christmas Present collide, the door to Christmas Future opens . . . and Georgia realizes that, just maybe, the real gift this season might be letting Jake back into her heart.
