When Holly and Kye are face-to-face, she freaks and he calls her a witch.

In this episode, we discuss The Christmas Pact by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.
Riley Kennedy and her colleague Kennedy Riley meet in person at the office holiday party after sparring over misdirected emails. While Riley was initially infuriated by Kennedy’s nosy responses to emails meant for her, he manages to convince her that he’d make a great date to impress her mother when she goes home for Christmas. In return, she agrees to be his date for his brother’s wedding.
Their act manages to fool everyone and, as they become closer, they both start to wonder if there is something more to their scheme than a simple agreement.
