Could a fake relationship with your ex over Christmas in Scotland be the perfect opportunity for revenge--or a second chance at love? One woman is about to find out in this charming holiday romance from the author of Always, in December and A Winter Wish. Melanie hasn't had a good year. Her work life isn't what she dreamed it would be, her best friend has moved to the other side of the world, and Finn, the man she was sure was the love of her life, dumped her. In front of everyone. At his sister's engagement party.
So when Finn shows up at Mel's doorstep two weeks before Christmas, asking if she'll help him, her first instinct is to slam the door in his face--or punch him.
But he has a proposal for her: Spend the week of Christmas with him and his family in a vacation cottage in the Scottish Highlands. His mother is obsessed with the idea of a perfect Christmas--and to make this dream come true Finn told his mother that he and Mel are dating again. All Mel has to do is come with him and pretend they're back together.
Mel may hate Finn, but she loves his mom. So she agrees--on one condition. At the end of the week, Finn will allow Mel to publicly dump him so that she can get her dignity back and he can experience the same humiliation she felt.
It's only a week. Mel can pretend to still be in love with Finn for one week, surely. Except as the festivities bring her closer than ever to Finn and his family, Mel starts to lose track of which feelings are fake and which are for real.
