All I want for Christmas is for Luke Scott to fall in love with me.
Too bad he’s a pro baseball player. And my best friend.
To be fair, it’s my own fault that I’m in this situation.
Cooper Hills is a small town. And growing up, I was always that girl.
You know, the one who guys think of like their little sister – and nothing more.
But this Christmas, all of that’s about to change.
I’m going to go out on a few dates and have some fun.
What’s weird though is that when I tell Luke about my plan, he doesn’t seem happy for me.
He gets possessive. And growly.
Then he shocks me with an insane offer that makes me melt from the inside out.
And now I'm starting to think that there might really be some magic in these Christmas cookies after all...

Chapter One - Aaron
The white business card that had been pinned to the work board infront of me one again was taunting me. Some times I felt like I could hear it in my dreams. Grabbing the tack out of it I walked over to my computer and punched in the website.
My internet was painfully slow today, one more perk of living in the mountains I guess. There was two tabs one for women and one for men. My mouse clicks sounded exceedingly loud, like they were mocking me as I did this.
Clicking on the tab for man looking for a woman I waited. A form popped up and I took a deep breath and started filling it out.
What are you looking for? A woman who is adventurous, used to a busy life and doesn’t need me hovering all the time.
The questions became monotonous and then I got to the tell me about your life question. How long did this have to be? There wasn’t anything exciting about me. Widower for sixteen years, one son who’s moved to college, assistant football coach and sapphire mine owner.
Four things? That’s all I could say about myself? That was going to get the ladies lining up for me. Shaking my head I hit send and closed the laptop so I didn’t have to think about it anymore.
An empty hole had formed in the pit of my stomach and I instantly regretted what I had done. Damn Andrew and Sofia for putting this idea in my head. Just because it had worked for them, didn’t mean I should be doing it.
I had devoted my life to the mine and my son when his mother died. He never wanted for anything, I tried to be dad and mom all rolled into one. Had I succeeded? Maybe I will never know but nobody can deny I did everything I could to the detriment of my own personal life.
It was easy to focus on only him when he was young. Luke had just turned three, and didn’t understand why his mom never came home. How could I tell him I didn’t understand it either. She had just been going to the store to grab things for supper, when a freak storm hit and she got into a car accident. Listening to Luke’s cries every night for his mom was almost more than I could handle, so we both sat there crying together. As the months passed the tears ended, and the sadness lifted more all the time. But now it was time to focus on myself.
Walking into the kitchen I grabbed a beer and headed into the living room to watch the Thursday night football game. Drew would be texting any time to discuss plays. Prying the cap off the bottle I relaxed back into the couch.
Maybe soon I would be sitting here with someone else, who was warm and cuddled up next to me. Hopefully she would be trying to get my attention off the game. My phone alerting me shook me out of the thoughts I was having. Grabbing the phone beside me I expected Drew’s text but it was an email. I should keep regular business hours but I had always found it hard to separate work life and home life.
Opening my email app I stared at the phone when it was a reply from the Mountain Heart Mail Order Bride Company. Taking a swig of my drink before I opened the email, hoping for a little liquid courage to hit me before I read it.
Dear Aaron,
I was so happy to see your form arrive in my in box. It is unusual for me to respond this quickly unless there was a problem, but I am very happy to inform you that I have a match for you.
She is twenty eight, a small business owner (and very successful at it) that is portable so she is willing to relocate anywhere. I believe she will be ready to travel Monday but once I confirm her flight times I will send you another email.
Thank you for trusting us with this aspect of your life. We look forward to hearing about your success.
Gwen Wallace, Owner
Well there it was, in a few days I wouldn’t be sitting on this couch alone anymore. What would she be like? I did read on the site that no pictured would be exchanged, just a telling feature so you know who to pick up at the airport.
My head spun, and I was feeling slightly sick to my stomach all of the sudden. Aaron, this is what you wanted. You did this so you wouldn’t end up an old lonely man. Get over yourself.
Why was it that when I needed my head to support me, it was always the betrayer? Downing my beer I got up to grab another one, when my phone rang. Picking it up I saw Drew’s name. Perfect timing, I needed to give him a piece of my mind for suggesting I do this stupid thing.
Well, I better go take the bread out of the oven before its totally overdone! Have a wonderful weekend and I will chat at you again soon. Maybe with a sneak peek of chapter two!!
