Brand new stand alone from NYT and USA Bestselling Author Cora Brent. Forbidden friendships and small town secrets. Enemies-to-lovers and tragic legacies. "Why are you trying to make me hate you?""Because you should." We should have been enemies from the beginning. But we were children when we met and children tend to ignore such rules. Even if the rules exist for a reason. Because Jonathan came from a family of savage killers. While I was born into the broken aftermath of their victims. For one short season we were inseparable. All it took was one terrible day to turn us into strangers. For years I refused to even think about him. Until he shows up here, far away from where we started. The gentle boy I remember has grown into a volatile man with a steely glare and a different name. He won't admit to who he is.Or where he comes form.Or who we are to each other. And I knew I shouldn't have provoked him. I knew I shouldn't have touched him. Most of all I knew I shouldn't have given him my heart. Yes, Jonathan and I were born to be enemies. And maybe that's how our story will end after all...

Maybe there's one of us in every family. The guy who scorns all the rules. The guy who shuns expectations. The guy most commonly known as the ultimate villain in a cultish self help movement.On the other hand, perhaps we're not as common as I thought. But so what if I'm never anyone's hero? At least I'm a good brother. That is the one thing I manage to get right. So when my big sister is abandoned by her lousy cheating husband, leaving her and her four kids alone a week before Christmas, I don't hesitate to head home. To my surprise, I'm not the only one who shows up. Katrina has always been my sister's best friend. She's headstrong and hot. She's neurotic and sexy. She belts out old power ballads with horrible, tuneless abandon and her hair always smells like vanilla cookie batter. We have a long history of being at odds and she's never appreciated my natural talent for getting under her skin. And then there was the night we accidentally hooked up. There might have been an unplanned midnight encounter. Combined with antique furniture abuse. Along with a creative application of lemon buttercream. It's kind of a forbidden topic. Now, nearly a decade later, it's possible I'm still obsessing over that memory. Katrina never knew that back in the day she was the one girl who really got to me. In the spirit of the holidays I've decided it's time to settle the score. She already thinks I'm not one of the good guys. In fact she hates my guts. But she realizes I've got something she wants for Christmas. All she has to do is swallow her high maintenance pride and ask nicely. I can guarantee she'll get more than she ever bargained for... Author note: Hope you'll take a chance on this screwball romantic holiday tale featuring enemies-to-lovers hijinks, a high stakes cookie exchange, laugh out loud banter, and plenty of heat for those cold winter nights!

AUTUMN: It's not that I'm hiding out in this hard luck little town. But I'm twenty-six years old, I've had one boyfriend and he ditched me for my sister. So I might be a little cynical. Then again, perhaps a high school math teacher shouldn't expect romance. I'd be better off sticking to the good things in life, such as my job at Emblem High, my amazing circle of friends, and my vintage record collection. I shouldn't waste time beating myself up over past choices or crying over the people who betrayed me. And I definitely shouldn't obsess over the washboard abs belonging to the guy who just moved in down the hall. There's no denying Landon Gentry is hot. He is also crude, sarcastic, messy and downright exasperating.And just to add one more complication, Landon also used to be my student. All in all, my new roommate is the last guy I should be thinking about. That doesn't mean I'll be able to resist him... LANDON: The football scholarship was my ticket out of town and I never planned to come back. However, blowing out my knee in the last game of the season spelled the end of my college days. Still, I wouldn't have returned if not for my little brother. He's lost his way since I left. And I'm the only one who cares enough to help him find it again. Between working two jobs and trying to steer my brother back in line I've got enough to focus on. I don't need to get distracted by a quirky schoolteacher with a great body. But Autumn's not just some sexy girl who rents a house with me. She's gorgeous and feisty and clueless about the fact that she's been my fantasy for years. Seeing her right in front of me every day is just too tempting to pass up. Even if giving in might mean disaster for us both...
