“For us?”
“Yeah, I figure we’ll buy a house, then plan the wedding so it’s not as stressful, and you know…” I take a casual sip of my cocoa. “Fill it with kids.”
“I—wait.”
I slowly pull the ring out of my pocket, turning to face her.
“I’ve thought of a million different ways I’d ask you to be my wife, but none of them captured how I feel about you, how much you mean to me, and I’m done waiting. I’m done trying to find the perfect proposal, because Sadie Emmert, you are my world, and I don’t want to go another day without you being my wife. Will you marry me?”
“Yes.” Her bottom lip begins to quiver as I slide the elegant solitaire diamond onto her finger. “I’m speechless, I’m actually speechless.” She lunges forward, wrapping her arms around my neck. “We’re gonna have babies?”
“Ten, at least,” I answer with a grin, resting my forehead against hers. “You have made me the happiest man alive. I just knew, from the moment I saw you, that no matter what it took, no matter how long it took, I was going to wait for you because you were going to be my wife. You have completely changed my world, Sadie.”
I feel the same way I did when I locked eyes on her in my conference room three years ago. It almost feels like it was just yesterday, but at the same time it feels like we’ve already lived a lifetime together. I wrap my arms around her, clutching her to my chest. For the first time in forever, I have a family. A home. I’ve found my everything with her.

“Sweetheart, I know exactly how to handle you.”
Those eight little words whispered in my ear by my boss were my undoing.
And what we did after he said them, most definitely landed me on Santa’s naughty list.
“Sweetheart, I know exactly how to handle you.”
Those eight little words whispered in my ear by my boss were my undoing.
And what we did after he said them, most definitely landed me on Santa’s naughty list.
If there’s one man who can suck all the joy out of Christmas—it’s my boss, Damon Wells.
I should have known when fifteen minutes into our first interview, he told me that nothing about me stood out from the fifty other applicants.
Yet somehow, I’m sitting shotgun in his fancy sports car on the way to my family’s house for the week.
You’d think he’d show a little mercy this holiday season after my day from hell.
Car towed? Check.
Spilled coffee on my white blouse? Check.
Soaked in Chicago slush by a cab? Triple Check.
Instead, he threatens to fire me.
So now I’m stuck spending the holidays with mybossby my side…Until two minutes into meeting my family, Damon introduces himself as my boyfriend and my minor panic turns into a full fledged five-alarm holiday meltdown.
He wasn’t supposed to pretend to beanything.
He absolutely wasn’t supposed to stick his tongue down my throat when he promoted himself to fiancé in front of my entire family.
And I sure as hell wasn’t supposed to enjoy it.
Suddenly, our fake little fairytale is starting to feel too real when Damon slides my grandmother’s diamond ring on my finger.
The same ring I thought my ex was going to give me last year when he dumped me.
The same ex who shows up to my family’s holiday party.
