SynopsisI'm not on the run from my feelings . Because I don't do feelings. And it's not that I'm repressing my feelings, I just... seriously... don't have feelings. Until now. Apparently. For the wrong girl. My best friend's girl. So, OK fine. I'm on the run from the feelings I'm not having. Everything is great. I'm getting out of Dodge. I'm on my way to a new life, and a new job, and no more feelings...and then I run right into another girl. Only this girl doesn't belong to anyone. She's stranded. And broke. And stuck in a blizzard with me. So all those ugly, stupid feelings I'm absolutely not having need an outlet. And new girl is into my brand of weird. She's super competitive and wants to play games with me. And we just made a deal that's basically a grown-up version of truth or dare. I'm in trouble. Because maybe... possibly ... I actually do have feelings. And this girl isn't really stranded and broke, she's just... broken . Just like me. And if I don't find a way to unbreak her-we'll both stay broken forever., SLACK Ford Aston is not too picky about what he wants out of Christmas. He's not into this holiday--like at all. He doesn't do presents, or family dinners, or parties, or church.He does pets. And he's got one lined up for Christmas Eve. In fact, it's the highlight of his day. And if he can get through drop-in visits, nosy twelve year olds, an inappropriate conversation with his best friend's girlfriend, dinner with a family that's not his, and a party at his mother's house--well, he might just get home in time to enjoy himself with a stranger and make it all OK. TAUT Ford Aston is known for many things. Being an emotionless, messed up bastard, a freakishly smart social outcast, and a cold, domineering master who keeps "pets" instead of girlfriends.And after Rook broke his heart, he plans to keep it that way.Ashleigh is known for nothing, and that's exactly what she's got going for her. She's broke, stranded in the mountains with a three month old baby, and Ford Aston is screwing with her head.Big. Time.And she plans to mess with his right back.It's a coy game at first, filled with flirting, and innuendo--but Ford soon realizes something is not quite right with Ashleigh. In fact, something is seriously, seriously wrong and the closer they get to their final destination, the closer Ford gets to the truth.One night of devastation, self-loathing, and emptiness turns into the best thing that ever happened to Ford Aston. But one day of in-your-face reality threatens Ashleigh's whole existence.
