But when beautiful and feisty small town girl Lena offers me shelter, I decide to make the most of it.

It's only for one night, just until the snow has cleared. Then, I'll be gone and on my way. We both know that. Just a little heat to brave the cold outside - that's all this is.

Owen Burnett planned on a quiet, easygoing Christmas, hanging out with his best friend and neighbor, Gabby Michaelson. So when his mom pressures him to come home, he tells a little white lie...that he’s spending the holidays with his new girlfriend. But after his family shows up unexpectedly, Owen pulls the best friend card and asks Gabby to play his fake girlfriend. Gabby’s been hopelessly in love with her best friend for what feels like forever, but playing Owen's "fake" girlfriend when the entire boisterous Burnett clan visits is easier said than done. The more she tries to deny the attraction between them, the more obvious their chemistry becomes. But even though she's not the only one feeling it, putting their friendship on the line is a risk she can’t take. Each book in the Kendrick Place series is a STANDALONE story that can be enjoyed out of order. * More than Friends * The Bad Boy Next Door * Hate to Love Him
