Christmas Magic on the Mountain by Melissa McClone. Publisher: Harlequin, November 2010

When snowboard designer Sean Hughes sees Zoe Flynn hitchhiking at the bottom of Mount Hood he recognizes a free spirit—much like himself!

They hit it off, and Zoe ends up agreeing to pose as Sean’s girlfriend at his family’s Thanksgiving. But following an accident and a misunderstanding they’re soon stuck with each other for the Christmas holidays!

Zoe’s girl-next-door looks make Sean wish their charade was a romantic reality, but Zoe is hiding something…and he has until the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve to discover her secret!

Little did Zoe know that by doing a favor, her life would become a pleasant complication. This was an lovely read that left me smiling.
