When my best friend convinces me to relocate to his hometown and buy a gym, I'm excited for the new adventure. An only child of older parents, Bergen and his wife's vow to make me their baby's honorary uncle is something I take very seriously. Too serious to risk a temporary hook-up with his baby sister, even if he's the one playing matchmaker, when that's all she's offering.

I'm looking for a forever woman, and Aspen's exactly the one for me. Only she's totally unwilling to accept the intensity of my feelings. Convinced my attention is a prank cooked up by her brother, she thinks she can blow me off and ignore this chemistry.

She can hit me with that resting grinch face all she wants, by the time Santa makes it home to Mrs. Claus, Aspen's gonna have to accept that we are happening. I'm declaring myself her very own personal fruitcake: nutty, spicy, and inescapable.
