Three years of wanting her. Twelve days to win her.
One chance at a Christmas miracle.
A scandal-shy rock guitarist hides out with his best friend’s sister… and turns her Christmas upside down.
When a career-killing scandal explodes, rock guitarist Christian Steele ditches the spotlight for the last place anyone will look—Haley Templeton’s London flat. She’s his best friend’s rule-loving sister, champion of a bursting-at-the-seams dog rescue, and the woman he’s quietly wanted for years.
Haley needed Christian to win a reality-show prize to save Canine Haven. Instead she gets the man himself: leather jackets in her hallway, fairy lights in her lounge, and a very inconvenient crush rekindling under the mistletoe. For twelve days they share a roof, a cause, and a chemistry neither of them can ignore.
But secrets don’t stay buried, even at Christmas. If the truth behind Christian’s walk-off comes out, Haley could lose her rescue—and the man who finally feels like home.
