Confession #1: I think my best friend’s brother is totally hot.

How was I supposed to know that he’s no longer a lanky teenage boy? And my best friend would end up getting sick, which is how we end up nestled in this overly romantic Christmas resort which has the signs of a Hallmark movie in the making.

Confession #2: The last thing I need is to fall for my best friend’s brother.

I can’t date right now. After my ankle injury last year—and the incident that shall not be named—I need to put all of my attention on soccer, which is precisely why I decided to come to the athletic charity event at this ski resort in Colorado.

But when my not-so-lovely ex shows up, Parker steps in as my fake boyfriend. This weekend was supposed to be a way for me to give back, get my name back out there, not to be doing festive–and somewhat romantic—activities with this hunk of a man whom I can’t seem to take my eyes off of.
