It was supposed to be a quick business trip before the holidays were over, but it ended up being more pleasure than either of the two old friends turned lovers could possibly handle...Avery Balthazar is having the worst. Christmas. Ever! Just that morning, she was standing in the corporate headquarters of Balthazar Broadcasting, her stepfather's mega-media empire situated in downtown Manhattan. But after a brief trip across the country in the company Learjet, she is suddenly standing face to face with her high school crush, Branch Asher. What's worse, she has the unenviable task of buying out his own mini empire on behalf of her family business, when the only "business" she's really interested in is getting Branch into bed, once and for all!Branch Asher is having the best. Christmas. Ever! He's got his old high school crush, Avery Balthazar, right where he wants her: back in their old hometown of Lakemont, California for three whole days until she gives her pitch to buy his company, which he's in no hurry to sell. The only thing Branch is in a hurry to do this Christmas, after all, is to tempt Avery into living out a few of his old high school desires, one illicit fantasy at a time!
