First published 2017
Colbie Albright flees New York for San Francisco, desperate to escape her chaotic family and the pressure of writing bestselling YA fantasy novels. Within an hour of arrival, she finds herself underwater in a historic fountain. Spencer Baldwin pulls her out, and their instant chemistry catches them both off guard. Spence has sworn off serious relationships, determined to avoid his romantic past. Colbie should be focusing on her temporary escape, not getting involved with a local. But she makes him laugh, listens without judgment, and understands him in ways that surprise them both. They strike a deal for two weeks of no-strings fun during the Christmas season. As December days tick by, both discover that keeping things casual proves harder than expected. Their connection deepens beyond physical attraction into something neither planned for. With Colbie's return to New York looming and Spence's fear of commitment holding him back, they face a choice that could change everything.
