I thought leaving home would be the end for us—now my billionaire ex-neighbor is the hot new doctor at my hospital.
We were best friends once, then I broke his heart when he discovered I had a crush on his older brother. Working this closely together is hardly the Christmas present I wished for this season.
Old memories are rekindled at our company holiday party. I never knew the passion he had been holding for me all these years until I felt the fire from our first kiss.
An unexpected surprise on Christmas Day breaks my heart as I learn my poetic doctor hasn’t been completely honest with me.
He’s got secrets. I’ve got questions. Giving him a second chance at capturing my heart could mean losing my best friend again for good.
Madison Reid and Matthew Berrington were best friends and neighbors who grew up together. Then 16 years ago, Matthew told Madison that he loved her.

With that pronouncement, Matthew walked away, never to see Madison again....until 16 years later, when they ended up being employed by the same hospital.

This book cover caught my attention and it was a marvelous story. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't even put it down. It was addicted and more. Madison and Matthew were just friends until that magic moment has change everything for them in this time. They never thought that they could have feelings for each other in a physical attraction and the chemistry between them was sexual connection. Was love in the air for them this time around as it would have made a difference in this moment. I highly recommend this book and you won't be disappointed.

…the conflict was so low stakes and the characters so one-dimensional. I don’t understand what this story is trying to achieve. The writing is very clunky and the overuse of the characters names in EVERY DIALOGUE became annoying by the end. Matthew is probably one of the most spineless MCs I’ve ever read. At no point did he need to entertain Joanna at all after the many warnings he was given about her behavior. I don’t understand how THAT character was a fully fledged neurosurgeon. Make it make sense.
Nic has a special way of immersing you completely in the story. This story was so captivating. I laughed , I cried every moment was felt so deeply. Loved every bit of this Christmas love story.
