The whole town is ready for the holiday season: The Cookie Club is baking, Main Street glitters with lighting, the carolers sing .There’s even a Christmas wedding.

When bodyguard Ryder Southerland sees his most effective friend’s sister Katie at an L.A. Xmas party, he mistakes the slinky blonde for the superstar stalker and tackles her. Then they tackle each other . . . at his place. Another morning, Katie’s gone, and Ryder tells himself it’s for the best. It isn’t. Right now, one Christmas later on, Ryder’s falling for the woman he’s been missing in the town he hasn’t skipped at all . . .

Katie Cheek’s outgrown the romantic fantasies she had about Ryder when she was fifteen. Katie’s packed their hot night time away within a box labeled “fling”-or tried to. But Twilight’s poor boy is the greatest guy in her brother’s wedding. And up-close and personal, Ryder’s difficult to ignore. Therefore Katie can either go into hiding-or surrender to Christmas magic.
