Catalina
Playing the part of my sister’s maid of honor is easy even if she’s marrying my ex.
But playing nice with the best man? An impossible task given our history.
Sure, Luke Darling may be suspiciously kind, incredibly handsome, and stubborn to a fault, but regardless of how hard he tries to make me see otherwise, I’m not interested.
It’s on me to remind him that he’s my ex-boyfriend’s best friend.
And the one I’m secretly starting to wish I met first.
Luke
My job as the best man is a simple one, except for one minor issue.
I’ve spent so much time avoiding my best friend’s ex that I didn’t consider what could happen if I started craving Catalina Martinez’s company instead.
She is only in Lake Wisteria for the winter wedding, but her January departure date won’t stop me from pursuing her.
Getting her to date me would be nothing short of a Christmas miracle, but I’m determined to make her mine.
‘Tis the season to fall in love…even if I’m the only one taking the risk.
Cat is only home for her sisters wedding and then she's off to her next assignment. On the outside she may look like she's putting up walls and sarcastic. But really she wants to just be noticed and loved.
So what's she do? Makes fun of Luke as he can barely eat the food he ordered because its too spicy and also coming off as annoyed that he's even there. It's one thing that her sister is marrying her ex, but the ex comes with a best friend she isn't the biggest fan of....yet anyway.
Luke is trying so hard to come off like he isn't completely smitten for Cat. He's just going to deal with things because his best friend is getting married. He's got to worry about work and figure out the whole roommate thing once his best friend moves out.
But who are we kidding with these two. Luke can't help it when he runs into Cat at the same hospital. Then getting a coffee machine and stocking up on her favorite coffee and then just so happens to get a giant lego set for them to end up doing together.
Together they just work. Once Cat's outer shell is broken, she just finally lets go and let's Luke in. Everything starts to unfold and together they make it work. So much so that travel and distance doesn't change anything and will go back and forth to make it happen. Eventually they make a home together and then their very own happy ending.
A great holiday read to fall in love with this season.
