Sometimes, Christmas is exactly what you need.
Friends for seven years since college, Maria Fernanda "Freddie" Ortiz has successfully ignored the fact that she's been head-over-heels for her best friend, Ceban O'Connell, since day one of Civics 102. Ceban has never been the love-and-commitment type. To protect her heart, Freddie shoved her emotions down deep, content to just keep the peace.
But when Ceban suddenly suggested crossing the line into a "friends-with-benefits" arrangement without any strings attached, Freddie made a dangerous gamble.
She convinced herself she could separate her secret love from their physical connection, agreeing to the setup just to have a piece of him. She thought her friendship could handle it. She thought she was strong enough.
She was wrong.
Watching the man you love pretend it's just a game is a holiday nightmare.
This Christmas, Freddie is officially done playing pretend. She is stepping under the mistletoe to give Ceban the ultimate truth. If he can't face his real feelings and commit to her, she's walking away for good?come what may.
This year, it's her ultimate Christmas wish... and she just hopes it doesn't shatter her heart.
