Fall in love with the enemy? No way.
Come together to honor his sister, my late best friend? All bets are off.

To fulfill Eleanor’s final wish, I travel to her hometown in Idaho to carry out her holiday traditions at her family's home—determined to stay strong and open her treasured last Christmas gift. Easy, right?

Nope.

The Sawyer McDavid. Her obnoxious, ruthless pro hockey twin who thrived on tormenting me in college. Just the sight of him makes my skin crawl—and, well, spark. Possibly. I’m resolved to keep my distance, but holiday nights with him—through New Year’s—proves to be a pro-level challenge.

The more traditions we do together, the more we solve Eleanor's puzzle, the clearer it becomes that we’re not so different after all.

Both highly competitive.
Both down for anything.
Both desperate to unearth her deepest secret.

And when the stakes—and the sparks—ignite, one late-night mission has me dropping my defenses… and my panties. Sawyer’s kisses burn like sin, and I can’t resist.

When we finally solve the puzzle and unveil her secret, we give Eleanor her much-deserved send off. We also discover something greater than any gift.

But love like ours? It’s forbidden. Sawyer’s dream is the NHL in Idaho, and I’ll always be a California girl.

Some things aren’t meant to last...

*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.
