But maybe that’s the problem—this unattainable quest for perfection—which is why she’s decided to focus on something she can control. Proving to Cami that this bout of spotty communication and dwindling intimacy is nothing but a blip.Every couple goes through it, right?Will Sutton’s attempts to reconnect over the holidays reignite sparks, or is it all too little too late?Snuggle up with this heartfelt holiday romance where love is boundless, desires blaze, and family is cutthroat—at least for the annual cookie-decorating contest.
