So I think my first question that comes up when I read this is why doesn't she recognize her friend's last name as the same one? Do they have different last names? And has she really never met him if she's friends with his brother? And how much of an age gap is there between her and the guy in NY?

The brothers could be half brothers. Or the parents could be divorced so the brothers had different last names (the mom reverted back to using her maiden name). The brother and the mom could live in NY and the dad and the other brother live in Florida.

Cass loves Christmas, but she's lived in Florida all her life, so she's never seen snow. When she finds out that one of her neighbors, Jeremiah, is going on a road trip to New York to spend Christmas with his brother, she tags along, telling her parents she's staying with a friend only an hour away from home. Cass thinks this is the perfect opportunity to get her first white Christmas. On the way to New York, Cass and Jeremiah can't deny the attraction between them, but when Cass finds out that Jeremiah's brother—the one they're on their way to visit—is the guy who broke her heart last summer, she's not so sure this is a good idea anymore. Not to mention the fact that there's no way she can keep this secret from her parents for long...
