'Tis the Season for a Second Chance to Seduce the Hot Mechanic...
Jake Henderson and I spent some long, hot days together, stealing kisses behind his dad’s auto shop. But the summer ended, and he broke my heart–I packed up the pieces and left town, vowing he’d never hurt me again.
When I come home for the holidays twelve years later and get paired up with Jake on a local Christmas event, I feel like the universe is pranking me.
