Wreck My Plans — Jillian Meadows

A sweet and spicy holiday romance between a spirited artist who returns to her small town for Christmas, and her older brother's best friend, a serious architect who pushes all her buttons -- but whom she can't seem to stay away from. 

Lena's plans are simple. Surprise her family for Christmas, don't tell them she lost her job, and most importantly, spend the week relaxing with the people she cares about.

But when she arrives in Juniper, she discovers she's not the only unexpected guest this year. Her older brother's best friend, Gavin, is back after disappearing three years ago without a word. He has the kind of charm Lena has always been drawn to, but she knows he's also the kind of temptation she needs to stay far away from.

Gavin has built his architecture career out of planning strategies for dealing with the unexpected -- but he didn't have a strategy for the possibility of seeing Lena again. Though he's been dreaming of her since the day he left, he can't risk giving in to his feelings when they could upend the only family and home he has ever known.

New plan: try to be friends again. Just friends.

But as the pieces fall into place about why Gavin left, staying friends is the last thing on his mind…and on Lena's. All the plans they've made might end up completely wrecked. And for once, maybe they want it that way.
