Ryder
What could be worse than Christmas? Working security on a Christmas movie a week before the "big day." The only consolation? Charity Pine is also working as props master on this movie. The problem? Charity has haunted my dreams for years, but she's my best friend's little sister and the one woman I can never have.

Luke and I enlisted together. The Navy gave us our basic training, but the SEALs made men of us. I came home from a mission five years ago . . . but Luke didn't. I vowed to protect his baby sister for the rest of my life, but I'm sure that didn't include falling for her.

Charity
What could be better than Christmas? Perfect snowy days, Christmas trees twinkling with colorful lights, and eating reindeer-shaped sugar cookies. Oh, and having Ryder Thorne, the man I've been in love with for years, working alongside me on my first-ever movie.

Ryder is always there for me whenever I need him, courtesy of the promise he made to my brother. But I need Ryder to see me as the woman I am, and not the burden I feel I've become. It's time to show him what he's missing because this Christmas, I plan to be the only gift on his naughty list.
