Frenemies with a Player
Enemies don’t belong under the mistletoe… but tell that to my heart.
My Christmas vacation was supposed to be cozy nights with my family, a stack of books I’d been dying to read, and sneaking a little me-time in my parents’ brand-new hot tub. The last thing on my holiday wish list? Running into Wyatt James—the cocky hockey jock from high school who once made it his mission to get under my skin.
But fate, or maybe just really bad luck, had other plans. One late-night soak in the hot tub turned into a mortifying disaster when Wyatt showed up at exactly the wrong time… catching me completely naked. Now, instead of a relaxing holiday, I’m stuck in a war of words, stolen glances, and a growing tension I can’t seem to shake.
Wyatt isn’t the same boy I remember—he’s older, broader, infuriatingly charming, and way too good at reminding me how long it’s been since someone made me feel alive. The problem? He’s still the last person I should want. We were rivals back then, and I swore I’d never fall for his games.
But under the twinkle lights, with snow falling and mistletoe lurking in every doorway, lines blur and sparks fly. And suddenly my “boring” Christmas vacation has turned into something a lot more dangerous… because the only thing more reckless than kissing Wyatt James is admitting I might actually want more.
Frenemies with a Player is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers holiday romance full of banter, heat, and heart—the perfect winter escape.
