Going home for the holidays is never easy. But it's next to impossible when you've just been dumped.

Just when I think it can't get any worse, my grad school nemesis, billionaire playboy Macallan Blaze, finds me sulking, trying to figure out a Plan B.

Life's a game to him, so when he offers to stand in as my fake boyfriend, I think he's joking. But he's dead serious.

And it's not like I can afford to turn him down. My tiny hometown only consists of 600 residents, where everyone knows everyone, and gossip spreads faster than wildfire.

Of freaking course, everyone falls in love with Mac the minute they meet him, and it's like he grew up in Rust Canyon.

But when he lets the cocky facade slip and shows peeks of the man behind the mask, I start to think that maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to judge.

The scariest part of all is that I might actually like him.
