Book description
All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire.
He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart.
Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire.
Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.
