'When my best friend found out I’d be alone over Christmas, she hooked me up with a week's stay in her family’s cabin in Idaho. I was on a publishing deadline for my latest book and was really looking forward to a cozy week by the fire, cuddled up in flannel pajamas with my laptop and hot chocolate. Alone. So imagine my surprise when I arrived at the cabin during a blizzard and found it already occupied by an all too familiar face and a fine pack of chiseled abs. Even though it had been ten years since I’d last seen Chase, he had no problem picking up exactly where we left off. I had a big problem with it. It didn’t matter what he threw at me—the old nickname, the teasing, his charming grin, or even those chiseled abs (did I already mention those?), I refused to let him get to me after...the incident. Nope, not me. I was made of stone. Unfortunately, I’m beginning to understand that when you strike Chase against stone…you get sparks. A Christmas Spark is a closed-door romantic comedy full of sizzle, witty banter, and mild, teasing innuendos, but nothing that would make your grandmother blush.'
Cori Ross is thanking her lucky stars. Sure, her longtime boyfriend just dumped her, but that's a good thing. In her rush to find Mr. Right, she realizes she almost settled for Mr. Just Okay. And that's definitely not okay. So, tonight, she's out with her friends at the Breakup Bash-a private party for women celebrating their break-ups-and she's actually celebrating. Still, it was too close a call. So she makes a deal with herself-no guys for six months.
Unfortunately, just as she's leaving the club, she runs into her old boyfriend, Grey Latham-the guy she'd always wanted to be Mr. Right. Great. What a time to swear off guys. Maybe she needs to change the deal-no relationships for six months. There's no reason why she can't have a fling, right? Because Grey still holds the title of the best sex she's ever had.
There's no way this could go wrong. Grey is on his way to international DJ fame-he's only in town for a short time, and then he'll be gone again. No harm in burning up the sheets while it lasts.
Too bad neither expected what happened next . . .

And so what if he turns out to be an excellent problem solver and nerdy-hot-he can't even handle fostering one little kitten.
