After discovering her fiancé and lifelong best friend’s betrayal, Deidra escapes to a secluded Colorado cabin for Christmas, hoping to heal. Instead, she finds Jinx, the arrogant bad boy she’s always clashed with, along with his troubled young son. As forced proximity turns hostility into unexpected attraction, Deidra risks falling for the last man she ever expected. But when vacation ends, can their fragile romance survive real life?
“Been takin’ care of my kid,” I replied flatly, hoping she’d take the hint that I wanted to be left alone to hang with my brothers. Baffle, our tech guy, snorted at my flat tone. I narrowed my eyes at him. He just raised his brows at me and took a long swig of his…
“How?” I asked. “He called Waylen a hellion,” Villain said. “Thought she was going to set him on fire with her eyes. “She was pi.ssed,” Void agreed. “Never seen her that angry before.” “She threatened to cut out my tongue if I ever said another bad word about him,” Psych told me. “Said she didn’t…
“This because of you?” Sophie asked, narrowing her eyes at me. “Me?” I asked with a raised brow. “You blaming me for fu.cking over the one person in your life who would have given you anything? You ruined a 20-year-long friendship over numb-nuts here who looks like he’s about to throw you at us and…
I raised a brow at her. “All they did was help me move a mattress,” I said. Sophie let out a hollow laugh. “You just don’t want everyone to know that they showed up at my house last night,” she stated. Wait, they did what now? “You’re lucky you involved them,” Sophie continued, her voice…
I scoffed. “Waylen is not his father,” I stated. “Or his mother, for that matter. He’s just a kid. And he’s not been dealt the best life. His mom was leaving him at the diner at two years old, Deb. He’s innocent in everything. If anything, Waylen is the only thing about Jinx that I’ve…

“I think his little pranks are justified,” he grunted. “Maybe these grown a.ss women should learn how to act accordingly. Ya know, stop trying to use a kid to get to his dad.” “I know he’s just trying to make sure we don’t end up with another Glory, but he also needs to understand that…
Figured I could help them out. I’d just started frying bacon when the coffee was finally done. I poured myself a mug and looked out the window that looks into the backyard. I stared at the snowmen we all built last night. Birdie came prepared with extra clothes specifically for making snowmen. They all had…
Finally, someone came from the back room. My eyes went wide as saucers when I saw who it was. I blinked several times, wondering if I was seeing sh.it. This had to be a dream. Fu.cking had to be. My family talking about her constantly is making me hallucinate now. Her head was down as…
“Okay, spill,” Emma said the moment we were seated on my couch. I had to toss back two half-glasses of my jack before I could answer. My mind and emotions were all over the place and I hated it. I had no right to feel anything about Jinx or Waylen. Even if Glory is a…
