One perfect summer, one unforgettable love—but some endings are bittersweet.I never considered love as able to ruin me. Not this way.When I met Adrian Blackwell, Santorini was experiencing a wonderful summer. A billionaire with sharp emerald eyes and a grin that caused me to forget about breathing. I was the lady who broke through his well built barriers; he was everything I lacked.Fairytales do not, however, last indefinitely.Christmas in New York five years later finds me seated across from my soon-to- be ex-husband, the man I once loved more than life itself. Although the ink on our divorce papers hasn't dried, the fire between us burns hotter than it has ever done.Seeing him once more seemed like something I could manage. I assumed the memories would not cause damage. Secrets from our history, however, refuse to remain buried, and as we sort through the wreckage of our relationship, I see more at risk than only my heart.Because someone is set on ruining Adrian's empire and I might be the one able to save it. One issue is just that. Saving his environment can mean losing mine.This Christmas we are unwrapping more than gifts. We are revealing the falsehoods, the betrayals, and the indisputable fact: some loves are worth battling even if you have already let them go.
