And then there is the gruff lumberjack who gives her pancakes… and butterflies.

Book Summary

Greg Wong likes things neat and orderly, and he really doesn’t like when things don’t go as planned. One thing he definitely didn’t plan was to drive his high school sweetheart, Tasha, back to their hometown for Christmas. But thanks to his mom’s meddling, that’s exactly what he’s forced to do.

To make matters even worse, he likes peace and quiet in the car, and Tasha fills every silence with her terrible singing and laughter. He should be annoyed, but he can’t stop noticing how beautiful she still is.

Plans veer even further off course when a dangerous snowstorm forces them to pull off the road and stay the night in an unheated hotel with only one bed.
