    Both of them have experienced the sting and sham of love and have no intentions of falling victim to it twice. Love is expensive—hate is free.Three years. A million dollars. A solution to both of their problems. They planned it all, from the story of their first meeting to the date of their divorce.

    Melissa—or Missy as I remembered her—had had a crush on me. But being a typical eighteen-year-old, I didn’t pay much attention to the blushing twelve-year-old.I walked away without so much as a backwards glance. But now? Now I can’t tear my eyes away. Gone was the girl with braces and pigtails...in her place was a woman who took my breath away. I just had to prove to her I wasn’t the same guy I was back then. I prayed for a Christmas miracle, but I never expected this. Her. Us.

    This year, I will fly in more ways than one. It all starts with a text that pushes me out of my comfort zone and gives me the courage I need to quit my job and book a flight to Greece.

We’ve never met before, but his kiss, his touch, the taste of his name on the tip of my tongue…It just feels right. Now I’m terrified of my own feelings, feelings for a man I barely know, a man who sweeps me off my feet and whisks me away. Carter Starr may be my one-way ticket to a fresh start, but what if it’s all too good to be true? *It’s the New Year! Time to ring your bell with some hot and hunky resolutions!
