have and to hold from this day forward
Wedding
bells are ringing in the charming town of Christmas, but not for Vivian
Westfield. She's just had her heart trampled under the cowboy boots of Chance
McBride and lost her dream job at a big-city newspaper. But when she returns
for a wedding, she stumbles on a story that could resurrect her career. First,
though, she'll have to deal with the handsome man standing in her way . . . and
a still-burning flame that's too hot to ignore.
Chance
recognizes trouble when he sees it. He just didn't expect to find it in the
first-class cabin on the flight home for his father's wedding. Yet there she
is, as gorgeous as ever. Vivi dared Chance to want things he knew he could
never have. It's why he left her. But Christmas's meddling matchmakers have
them firmly in their sights. So if they want to survive the next week, they'll
have to play the part of an adoring couple-an irresistible charade that may
give them a second chance at the real thing . . .

“It’s not
funny. Everything I said was true,” Vivi muttered to the silently laughing man
beside her. She tightened her grip on the armrests as they taxied down the
runway. Closing her eyes, she chewed an imaginary piece of gum as the plane
lifted off.
“Huh. And here
I thought there was nothing the fearless Vivi Westfield was afraid of.” Chance
laced his fingers through hers, stroking his thumb over her knuckles.
At the
confidence in his deep voice and his comforting touch, her heart beat double
time in her chest, and her mouth went dry. Her reaction to Chance McBride was
more terrifying than the thought of the 757 falling from the sky. “I’m not
afraid. It’ s—” She jumped at the loud clunking noise coming from beneath the
plane. “What’s that?”
He gave her
hand a light squeeze. “Relax, it’s just the wheels retracting.”
“How do you
know that?”
“Because I’ve put in about twenty thousand
miles in the last two months alone, and I have my pilot’s license.”
“Oh, right. I
should have remembered that, seeing as it’s how you kidnapped my best friend.
My pregnant best friend who was wearing her pajamas at the time.” Honestly, she
didn’t know why Skye liked the man after what he’d done, but she did.
“Worked out,
didn’t it? Sugar Plum is living happily ever after with her Prince Charming.
And if you want to blame someone, blame Nell. She’s the one who set . . .” His
eyes narrowed, and he let go of her hand. “You buy your own ticket?”
“My plane ticket?”
He nodded.
“No, if I
did, I wouldn’t be sitting in first class.” She didn’t add “beside you.” Her
eyes widened as she realized why he’d ask. “Did you buy yours?”
“No,” he clipped out.
She pressed
her fingers to her temple. So this was what Skye had been talking about. Nell’s
plan had nothing to do with getting Vivi to move to Christmas. She was up to
her matchmaking tricks again. Vivi drowned out the little voice in her head
that cheered Nell on with a forced laugh. “Your aunt is deluded if she thinks
she can get us together.”
“I know that and you know that, but it won’t
matter what we say.”
His answer
wasn’t a surprise. She knew how he felt about her, but to hear him so casually
dismiss any chance . . . Good God, she really wasn’t over him, was she?
Obviously the twinge of pain in the vicinity
of her heart was reflected in her face, because he patted her thigh. “Don’t
worry about it. I’ll figure something out.”
“Good luck with that. She’s three for three.
The woman thinks she’s . . .” Vivi trailed off as the flight attendant began
the safety briefing.
“Three for
three? Who—”
She held up a
hand and retrieved the illustrated card from the pouch in front of her. She
caught the amused expression on Chance’s face as he watched her. She ignored
him, focusing instead on the flight attendant. When the woman turned to the
person in the emergency exit seat, Vivi raised herself up as much as the
seatbelt allowed. “There is no way that guy will be able to throw the door.”
She cast a sidelong and slightly covetous glance at Chance’s corded forearms
and bulging biceps. “You should change seats with him.”
“Slick, we’re
not going to crash. If you want to worry about something, worry about Nell and
what she has planned for us.
