The whole town is ready for the holidays: the Cookie Club is baking, Main Street glitters with lights, the carolers sing . . . there’s even a Christmas wedding.
When bodyguard Ryder sees his best friend’s sister, Katie, at an L.A. Christmas party, he mistakes the slinky blonde for a celebrity stalker and tackles her. Then they tackle each other . . . at his place. The next morning, Katie’s gone, and Ryder tells himself it’s for the best. It isn’t. Now, one Christmas later, Ryder’s falling for the woman he’s been missing in the town he hasn’t missed at all. . .
Katie Cheek’s outgrown the romantic fantasies she had about Ryder when she was fifteen. Katie’s packed their hot night away in a box labeled “fling"—or tried to. But Twilight’s bad boy is the best man in her brother’s wedding. And up-close and personal, Ryder’s impossible to ignore. So Katie can either go into hiding—or surrender to Christmas magic.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wilde's latest Twilight, Texas contemporary (after I'll Be Home for Christmas) shows that even the most confirmed loner can change his ways because of love. Katie Cheek is glad that Gabi Preston agreed to swap houses during the days before Christmas so that Katie could experience life in L.A. while Gabi stayed in Katie's small hometown of Twilight. But Katie is shocked when she is tackled by security guard Ryder Southerland at a charity event after he mistakes her for the woman stalking the country star he has been hired to protect. Katie hasn't seen Ryder in 12 years and is still embarrassed by the high school crush she had on him. After Ryder notices that Katie is no longer a gawky teenager, they spend one fabulous night together. One year later when they are both back in Twilight, a relationship begins to develop out of that night of passion. This mix of classic setups tough guy/good gal and reunited childhood sweethearts is made complete by Wilde's skill with character development, sizzling sex scenes, and plenty of romantic angst.
