He was her happily ever after, until he wasn't.

When Mathew left, he took every dream they ever had together with him. Devastated and alone, Tabitha is forced to abandon the future she’s always dreamed of having, with the only boy she’s ever loved. She never imagined that she would have to start over at nineteen, before her life really began. As she suffers from a broken heart, Tabby must now face a brand new future completely on her own.

She was his sister’s best friend.

Brandon has been in love with Tabby for as long as he can remember. He never stood a chance before, because she’s always been in love with someone else. He’s been stuck on the sidelines for years, but that’s all about to change. She may not realize it yet, but she needs him. And he’s always needed her.

Sometimes love isn't a choice when fate decides.

Ireland was always the smart one. My irritatingly perfect twin sister. I was the wild one. Her exact opposite. She was the voice of reason. She kept us safe.

She was my best friend.

Then she met him, and he took her away.

Now I’m left trying to pick up the pieces they left behind. It’s hard being alone, when you’ve never done it before.

Now he’s back...

She wasn’t enough for him, and what they had didn’t last.

He wants me...

He plans to keep me.

I should run, or at least fight back.

The only problem is...

I don't know who he is.

Sylvie just wants to survive the Christmas season, pay her rent, and move on.

But the Douchebag playing Santa’s got her on his list, and he refuses to check it twice. Avoiding his advances should be easy. He’s everything she hates.

So, why is it so hard to say no?

The best way to get over someone is by getting under someone else...

Right?

Isn’t that what they always say?

Nate makes a lightning-fast exit when he finds his boyfriend with his hand in someone else’s cookie jar.

He’s more than ready to move on from that disaster, but meeting Mitch, a sexy drummer, is not part of his post-breakup plans.

Nate falls hard and fast for his sexy drummer boy, who is turning out to be everything he never knew he wanted.

But is it meant to last, or will all they ever have is a snow-melting winter fling?
