It Was Always You (Gaming The System Book 7) by Brenna Aubrey

Michaela
Timing has never been on our side. I’ve carried a quiet torch for Jeremy since Junior High School days. Whenever we grew closer, something happened to pull us apart again. If I had one wish this Christmas, it would be for a chance with Jeremy.

Jeremy
She’s my best friend’s little sister and I’ve wanted to taste those sweet lips since we were in high school. Just when I thought I might have the chance, we inexplicably got caught up in dating other people.

This is a stand-alone holiday novella with a happy ending. The characters exist in the same world as Brenna Aubrey’s bestselling Gaming The System series, but you don’t need to have read any of those books to enjoy this story.
