Max was my best friend growing up—the awkward new kid from Minnesota who somehow fit perfectly into my New York City world. Somewhere along the way, friendship turned into something deeper. But before we could figure out what it meant, my parents moved me to Florida. Fourteen years later, life had done its best to erase him from my heart—until he walked back into my life unexpectedly. He’s no longer the shy boy I once knew; he’s the confident, magnetic billionaire CEO of the company I work for.

Emma and Max were inseparable as kids, their bond evolving into something deeper before life pulled them apart. Fourteen years later, Max reappears in Emma’s life, no longer the shy boy she remembers but a confident billionaire CEO—and her new boss. Emma struggles to keep things professional while protecting her heart, but Max is determined to rekindle what they once had. Just as old feelings resurface, the ghosts of their past threaten to tear them apart again. Can they rewrite their story, or will the mistakes of yesterday keep them from a future together?

Boxing Day

Boxing Day

Jen Cooper

“Spread your legs, Millie.”

I couldn’t believe I was in the boxing ring with the head coach of my dad's gym. Leo was over a decade older and completely off-limits.

And he was training me in secret.

When I entered the Boxing Day tournament to save my bakery, my whole family bet against me. If my dad found out Leo was coaching me to win, he’d fire Leo and disown me forever.

Imagine what he’d do if he knew what else was going on between us.

Leo kicked my feet apart and gave me a smirk I knew was going to cause trouble. “Good girl.”

But I was starting to think a little trouble was worth it.

As her feelings shift in ways she cannot ignore, old wounds begin to surface, especially the quiet ache left by her distant mother. Between laughter, confusion, and moments that feel a little too real, Rory starts to wonder if love might not be the story she thought it was.
