He's the playboy hotel heir who just lost his fortune...

When Preston Spencer loses the inheritance to his father's billion dollar empire, he's forced to move from sunny LA to his hometown of Stoney Ridge, Vermont to help run The Early Bird Inn, the company's only remaining property. The quaint inn was his childhood home and the start of the Spencer empire, but it was also the place where all his most painful memories were made. A disheveled mimicry of its former glory, the inn is now home to the humiliation of learning he won't be running things, but is expected to be the handyman for the holidays.

She's the girl from his past that might be the key to his salvation, if only he could recognize her....

To say Mia Flores is surprised to see Preston again is an understatement. She isn't sure what stings the most, learning what a spectacular asshole he's turned into or the fact that not a hint of recognition lies on his face when he sees her. Even worse, it appears he is the help that corporate promised. There's no way this entitled playboy can restore the inn to its former glory in time for the holidays. And with the season in full swing, she can't afford to deal with drama from her past on top of the growing list of repairs the old inn needs. If he doesn't know who she is, she certainly won't be the one to tell him. But how long can she keep lying to him when there's an undeniable connection brewing between them?
