Caitlin McIntyre's heart stops when her best friend drops to
one knee and proposes. Kyle Lockhart never once hinted over
the years that he has any idea she's in love with him. Not
wanting to jeopardize their friendship, she's never let it
slip. Good thing, too, since it turns out he's only
practicing—he's about to propose to someone else.
A business merger might not be the most romantic reason
to propose to a woman he barely knows, but Kyle's determined
to win the respect of the dying father who's never seen him
as quite good enough. Kyle's always depended on Caitlin's
friendship, while trying to ignore the physical response she
arouses. So he turns to her when it comes time to craft his
proposal, not realizing his decision will affect their
relationship, forever.
This Christmas, Kyle and Caitlin get one last chance to
admit their feelings for each other, and find a mutual
happily ever after, before he commits his life to another
woman and Caitlin leaves town and him...for good.
