Send Off — Terra Weiss

Fall in love with the enemy? No way.
Help him as he grieves his twin sister, my late best friend? All bets are off.

A year after the crushing loss of Eleanor, my best friend, the blasting bar TV announces that her brother, pro hockey star Sawyer McDavid, has fallen off the grid.

I have to do what Eleanor can't: head to Dickens, Idaho and pull his rock hard ass out of the dumps.

I don't care if he and I were college nemesis -- I mean, he was nicknamed The Bra Claw for damn good reason. Case in point: one scorching night with that frustratingly beautiful man, and then… silence.

Whatever. Now, if he doesn't want to see me? So what.

If he continues to forget what happened between us? Too bad.

I'm going to drag him out of bed whether he likes it or not.

Even if I have to force him to do that ridiculous holiday scavenger hunt Eleanor had planned for us last year -- which he begrudgingly agrees to. We owe her an overdue final send off.

And as we carry out silly Christmas traditions, raising money for charity dressed as elves, decorating trees, and saving puppies, I know good and well how to ignore our whirlwind kisses and fiery tension. Admittedly, it gets a notch harder after the night he makes me see stars under the snow-flurried sky, if you know what I mean.

Old chemistry and new wounds ignite a rare connection -- Sawyer's more beautiful than ever, scars and all, and I know we're exactly what each other needs.

But after the holidays, he's off-limits. Hockey calls him back, and I refuse to compete with all the bras he'll claw off only to jeopardize my piling caseload. We'''ve tried this before -- how many chances does true love get?

*Send Off is a witty, heartfelt stand-alone holiday romcom with adult language and steamy, open-door chemistry that will have you rooting for a happily-ever-after.
