"Wardrobe malfunction" doesn't begin to cover it.

With a rip louder than the "I dos," Hayley's hideous bile-yellow bridesmaid dress explodes. She's always had enviable curves, but nearly naked wasn't quite the look she'd been going for at her ex's wedding.

It's impossible on a million levels. Exuberant engineer Hayley and buttoned-up lawyer Nico have never seen eye to eye€"but skin to skin? Oh, mio€¦ So when Nico shows up at her flat on Christmas Day to give her a fabulous gift€"himself€"Hayley's delighted to do the unwrapping. But it's just a holiday fling.
