After years of ho-hum dating,
Noelle Gregory is tired of fooling around. There’s only ever
been one guy for her—Jake Conroy, her best friend’s older
brother. Now that Jake’s back in town, she’s headed to his
sister’s New Year’s Eve party to make her move. Purse full
of condoms? Check. Sparkly dress guaranteed to show Jake the
sexy woman she’s become? Check.
Carjacker that makes off with both two hours before the
party? Check.
When Jake finds Noelle stranded on the side of the
road—looking sexier than ever in her striped socks and silly
holiday shirt, damn it—he’s glad for the snowstorm that
cancels his sister’s party. His and Noelle’s friendship has
tormented him for years, and now, Jake wonders if he should
dare to sample what he’s always wanted…and if he’ll be able
to walk away when it’s over.
