Married by Christmas by Taylor Hart

A firefighter, a trip to Maui, and the woman who broke your heart ten years ago–what more could you want this holiday season?

Emily Times wouldn’t admit that Tom Kent had been … the one who got away. No, she would never admit that. Number one, because she’d turned him down. And, number two, because she didn’t have time to think about the past. Until she’s stuck at her boss’s wedding in Maui and her boyfriend ditches her at the last minute.

When Tom Kent won a trip to Maui, he had mixed feelings about going by himself and was over the moon happy when his brother ended up taking time off from his professional football career and coming with him. He never imagined he’d run into the woman who turned him down for marriage ten years ago. And he really never imagined she’d ask him to be her date to her boss’s wedding. Good thing he says no!

But when his brother ends up going back to Denver and all he can think about … is how bad Emily must be hurting, he makes a deal with her. He attends the wedding and she goes with him on the excursions already booked.
Neither one of them could have anticipated how it would feel to dance again. Hold hands again … kiss again.
When old feelings start to surface, they must make a choice: trust in each other or walk away and lose the dream they always wanted.
