Ten years ago, Eric gave Georgina an ultimatum, come home from design school after their first semester apart and meet him under the mistletoe, or they were done. Since then, Georgina’s professional life has taken off, but her personal life, is miserable. With an upcoming fashion show slated for New Year’s Eve, her Thanksgiving will be spent working non-stop. That is, until her assistant pulls the truth out of her—she had Mr. Right and lost him. Now, for the first time in ten years, Georgina’s on her way home to see just possibly if she can’t find a little magic for her love life.
Eric regretted pushing Georgina out of his life, but he was too stubborn to admit he was wrong, until it was too late, and he couldn’t find her himself. He refused to go to his mother, or Georgina’s, and discover that she’d moved on from them. Instead, he made himself move on, and now, he’s ready to propose and settle down. That is, until he goes to their town’s Thanksgiving parade and comes face to face with Georgina. Now, all the feelings are coming back and the last thing he can do is propose tonight.
The moment Georgina saw Eric, she knew she was meant to be there, and she thought he knew it too, until he pulled away and left her all alone. More than ever, she’s determined to see this through and after a day spent with her family, and another near kiss with Eric, she’s off to see the one person she knows will tell her if she has any chance—his mother. With Julia and her friends behind her, Georgina’s ready to fight for him this time. She won’t leave town with regrets, even if she leaves with a broken heart.
Eric can’t stop thinking about Georgina, too many near kisses, too many feelings are flowing through him. The only thing he can think to do, is see if he truly has a chance with the woman he’s always loved. A public break up wasn’t his plan but being free to make Georgina his is something he won’t argue. But will life, not to mention their friends and mothers get in the way of making her his?
With Christmas coming fast, these two aren’t about to slow down, until the world throws twists and turns in their path. A plot to keep these two loves from kissing until their old anniversary soon quickly brings a new declaration from Eric—he’s not going to kiss her on the lips until she’s his wife. Can Georgina and Eric plan a surprise wedding without everyone finding out about it, or will old hurts, family drama, not to mention one very angry ex get in their way of the ultimate Christmas surprise? If there’s one thing, Eric just can’t do, it’s resist Georgina, and he won’t give up until she’s his. Whatever the world throws at them, they’ll get through it, together this time.
