Description

One morning in December, Teddi Reynolds wakes up to a life that isn't hers.

She's married to Jaden Phillips — her brilliant, insufferable rival who has spent years making her feel invisible at work. She has a twelve-year-old stepdaughter she never saw coming. Her best friend won't return her calls. And there's a dog. A large, adoring, relentless dog. Teddi can barely keep a succulent alive.

None of it makes sense. None of it is what she chose.

But somewhere between the chaos of the holiday season and the quiet moments she never expected — a girl who needs more than Teddi thinks she can give, a man who might not be who she always assumed — she begins to wonder if the life she's been handed is trying to tell her something about the one she left behind.

She has until Christmas Day to find out.
