Publisher's summary

It’s hard to escape your ex when you’re working together over Christmas in the Scottish Highlands, but being stuck together might be the best possible present in this sparkling new contemporary romance.

Maya Bashir is dreading her drive home for Christmas and having to explain that she's just left her high-paying job and a long-term relationship, so a brief detour to her friend’s festive party doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Until Maya walks in to find the last person she wants to see. Sam, the boy who broke her heart eight years ago. And he’s serving drinks. Naked.

Sam Holland is working an extra job on the sly to help his friend get by. But little did he expect Maya Bashir to come barrelling back into his life, learning about his secret side-hustle and taking back her old job alongside him at his daytime role as a ski instructor on the slopes of the Scottish Highlands.

As both Sam and Maya realize that their reason for heartbreak so many years ago wasn’t entirely as it seemed, they must learn to stand up for what they want the most…or else miss their second chance at love.

Critic reviews

"Nikki Massoud brings a dynamic and heartfelt performance to this festive Christmas romance.... Massoud seamlessly switches from an American accent to a Scottish lilt when performing dialogue--adding a charming layer of authenticity to the characters and setting.... Massoud excels at portraying the flirty banter between the pair as they grow closer and learn their breakup wasn't as simple as it seemed. Listeners will cozy up to this humorous second-chance holiday romance." (AudioFile)

Cute for the holidays!

A cute holiday story with love, skiing and Scotland, I enjoyed it! The accents were a little funny but I got used to them!
