So, when Olivia asks Henry, her best friend’s grumpy surgeon brother, to carpool, she swears it’s a matter of convenience and not a bid for Henry’s attention.

Olivia’s left with a choice: confront her real feelings for Henry or flee to the mountain house with all her walls intact.

Unfortunately his niche industry job as a high-end traveling mechanic keeps him wealthy but airborne. He’s constantly flying across the globe tending to his rich clients’ one-of-a-kind vehicles. So when Parker finds he’s not the only passenger on a private jet back to the states, he knows better than to engage in dead-end flirting. But the chatty woman with the raven hair and blue eyes has stolen his attention—and also his wallet—just for her own amusement. Elliot Sheer is the opposite of what Parker is looking for. She’s flighty, temperamental, and uninterested in settling down. And Parker can’t even figure out where she lives. She floats from gig to gig as a destination wedding photographer. Tempting but trouble. Parker won’t ever see her again anyway. Except, that he does at the Schiphol Business Lounge and then again at O’Hare Terminal Five. And one more time at Midway baggage claim. And now that he’s found her on Instagram he can’t pretend he hasn’t been seeking her out on purpose too. An international game of cat and mouse. With each crackling encounter it’s more clear she won’t give him the commitment he wants. But Parker can’t stop himself from chasing her through the sky, even when he knows he’ll end up crashing to the ground all alone. less

Unfortunately for Leo, Lara’s been immune to his charms, and now he’s running out of time to win her over... moreLara Blunt is a grouch, but she’s a grouch who works at the merriest little Christmas shop in town, The Jingle Bell.
