Out of the list of favorite things I wanted to do this holiday season, falling for the tycoon threatening to expose my lie wasn’t one of them.

All I want is a few days of rest—some time to escape the pressures of 6 a.m. practices, sponsors, athletic coaches, and most of all, my Dad-ager (dad and manager) to constantly perform, especially with the highly anticipated X Games coming up in a few weeks.

A few days off during the holiday season is exactly what I need to regroup. I savor the idea of sipping hot chocolate, eating my weight in gingerbread cookies, and hitting the slopes at my leisure—just like when I was a kid.

Yes, I might have told a small, white lie to get my break.

Truly, it’s harmless.

That is until a cocky and stunningly gorgeous business tycoon uncovers the truth. Now he’s threatening to go public with what he knows unless I give him what he wants.

And what he wants this holiday season is …me?

Now, instead of lonely nights by the fire, sipping hot cocoa I find myself in the arms of the man threatening to expose my secret, worse still, I don’t think I ever want to leave.
