A witchy loner . . .

Freya Nilsen knows exactly how she wants to spend winter solstice: alone on her couch with a mug of mulled wine watching her favorite spooky TV show. Instead, she's returning home to Northview, Wisconsin, where she's always been the moody black sheep of the sunshiny Nilsen family. And is Mercury in retrograde? Because her childhood-best-friend-turned-high-school-enemy, Jeremy Kelly, is back in town for the first time in seventeen years. And he's as handsome (and annoying) as ever.

A people-pleasing charmer . . .

Since striking out on his own at eighteen, Jeremy Kelly has single-mindedly pursued safety and security. Practical degree? Check. Practical job? Check. Practical life? Check. But lately, it's all started to feel . . . empty. So, when Jeremy's mom invites him home to Northview, it's the opportunity he's been waiting for to rediscover the parts of himself he left behind: his love of high fantasy, his talent for art . . . and his infatuation with his darkly compelling neighbor, Freya Nilsen.

Who will win the battle of wills?

Sparks-and banter-fly when Jeremy and Freya reunite, and in true rival fashion, they agree to a challenge. Freya's goal? Seduce Jeremy into a holiday fling that ends at Christmas. No exceptions. Jeremy's? Convince Freya that the deep connection they've always shared is what they've both been missing. Is it all just a sexy game to the longtime opponents? Or can they take the risks necessary to create a future that's big and terrifying and intense . . . and everything they've ever dreamed of?
