Abbie Keller thought that Richard Bartholemew Benson the Third would be her forever. In their four years of dating, she never doubted that she wouldn't end up with his grandmother's engagement ring on her finger. Sure, she had to change a few things about herself to fit that mold, like dying her hair, dressing more conservatively, and finding golf enjoyable (honestly the most difficult of the changes), but she was sure that at the end of it all, it would be worth it. That is, until he leaves her crying outside her apartment wearing a Halloween costume, having broken it off with her because she's just not serious enough. She was just fun, he tells her - and now that Richard has becoming a partner at his law firm in his sights, he needs to focus on work. So she does what every girl does when she's broken up with: she calls her friends, gets drunk, dyes her hair, and formulates her plan for revenge. It just so happens that the universe supports her efforts and gives her the perfect match to prove to her ex that he made a huge mistake: his boss. Abbie starts dating the founding partner of Richard's law firm, Damien Martinez, with one thing in mind: convincing him to invite her to the huge annual Christmas party as his date. But when the relationship starts to become something more than casual dating and Abbie sees that the tough New York lawyer has a soft side, will she be able to follow through with her plan of deceit?

A Holiday Revenge Romance

“I don’t share, Abigail. We agreed that this might not be serious, that we’re both not looking for that right now, but I don’t share. I’m a very possessive man. What’s mine is mine.”

And he’s right: I am too much. I am too much for him because he always should have deserved less.

“Okay, so the rest of your cold weather demands?”

“They’re not demands,” I say with a smile. “Just . . . preferred conditions.”

“But if you’ve got any connections with Mother Nature, please, fill out a comment card for me.”

“Unfortunately, I haven’t met her yet.”

“Bummer. Anyway, so Thanksgiving—autumnal.”

“No man sends a woman home in a cab after a night like we had. He feeds her, caffeinates her, and walks her to her door. He lets her know he had a fucking amazing time, and he secures that he’ll get to see her next time.”

“Boys might not, baby. But men? Men love to make a woman scream their name while their head is between her legs.”

“A relationship is like the law. It needs balance. If it’s out of balance, if one person sees themselves as less valuable, if another sees themselves as more valuable, the balance isn’t there.” His dark eyes are boring into mine with his words, and any words I could say are stuck in my chest. “You are not less than me. I am not less than you. We are humans who do what we can to help people.”

"I dont share, Abigail. We agreed that this might not be serious, that we're both not looking for that right now, but I don't share. I'm a very possessive man. What's mine is mine." 

"What brings joy should never be embarrassing," I say and stare at her. Her face melts into a look I can't quite understand for once. She waits for a beat, staring at me and moving closer until I can feel her body heat on me. "What brings you joy, Damien?" she asks, her voice low and soft. "Right now? It's standing right in front of me.”

You consume me. I don’t know how you did it, but I have fallen madly, deeply, in love with you. Every moment of every day is consumed by thoughts of you, planning the future, dying to be with you
