The lights the snow the cozy traditions. Then my parents divorced. Intent to avoid awkward holiday drama I head to our family's secluded cabin for a nice relaxing week alone.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>At least that's the plan until Ryder Hanson shows up uninvited and dressed like a serial killer.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Ryder has three strikes against him.

And three: My dad likes him better than me.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I want to hate him but when he walks around the cabin all shirtless and sexy I forget why I should. Or that the coach's daughter and the hotshot rookie only work out in novels.
