Gabriel Bissonnette is the last man I should want.

For seven years, I’ve hated him, or at least pretended to.

He’s back in Marrow Falls for the Christmas Classic, and now we’re forced to face everything we never said.

Twelve days.

That’s all I have to keep my distance.

Because the closer Gabriel gets, the harder it becomes to remember why I ever walked away.

And if I’m not careful, twelve days could be enough to turn our rivalry into something neither of us can escape.

Especially when the man I swore I’d never love again still has my heart.
