A crippled boy, an unhappy girl, a cuddly puppy and a Christmas romance!

Chris finally gets custody of his daughter to find out that she hates the very sight of him. How can a man break through those barriers? Could the boy help – him and his new puppy… and the smart, beautiful woman he calls Mom?

Duty demands he keep an eye on her–and naturally, his lips soon follow. For someone who views entanglements as a weakness, this is pure, delicious folly. . .

Though grateful for Aden’s help, Vivien has secrets she must keep hidden. Yet with her abductors still at large, she needs Aden’s protection almost as much as she craves his touch. . .

As an awkward youth, Miles fell in love with a kindred spirit…but his love was unrequited. Against his wishes, he’s now obliged to spend the holidays at Blythe Manor. Time has wrought changes in his physique, but his devotion to Lara Robinson has never wavered. He searches for the perfect present to show her how he feels, but nothing seems quite right…until he realizes the best sort of gift will embrace the true meaning of Christmas.

On the heels of her humiliation, should Fiona instead consider marriage to a much older man whom she could never love?
