Nicole Stanton, the world’s richest young woman, ended her three-year marriage to the powerful CEO, Eric Ferguson, for one reason: her family’s billion-dollar fortune. When their divorce hits the headlines, rumors swirl about her dating life. To the public, she’s the ultimate catch, but behind closed doors, Nicole still harbors feelings for her ex-husband—a man she left behind to chase her dreams. Eric, now a successful entrepreneur, wants to move on, but he can’t shake the love of his life. When fate forces them together again in a high-stakes business merger, the tension between them is impossible to ignore. Both have secrets they’ve been keeping from each other, and the emotional baggage from their past threatens to tear them apart. Can they rebuild their relationship, or will old wounds keep them from reigniting the flame of the love they once shared?

One perfect Christmas, one unforgettable love—but some endings are bittersweet. Though at first sight I never thought in love, that Christmas in the Maldives altered everything. The mysterious billionaire with keen blue eyes and a jawline strong enough to cut glass, Alexander Sterling, knocked me flat. Until one terrible turn of events tore us apart, our whirlabout romance was a dream come true. Years later, fate brings us back together—on Christmas Eve of all evenings. The magic of the season, the echoes of our past, and the secrets we hid run either to draw us closer or destroy us permanently. Alexander, though, is not the man I knew. His world is more dangerous than it has ever been and he is darker and more guarded. Two rivals wish to ruin both him and me. And my heart discovers the terrible reality: love can be the sweetest gift and the deadliest weapon just when I thought I could let my guard down. I'll struggle this Christmas to discover the truth, recover my heart, and ascertain whether the second chance for love is worth running all the risks involved. Since with Alexander, nothing is easy. Nothing will ever be the same with me as well.
