Eve Harmon has always enjoyed Christmas, but this year it reminds her of everything she doesn’t have. Almost all her friends are married right now, and that is what Eve wants, too. Love. A hubby and kids of her own. But the B and B she manages-and also Whiskey Creek, the small Gold Country town where she was created and raised-suddenly seem . confining.

Eve is worried that her future will simply be a representation of her past. There’s no one in the area she might even imagine like a husband-until a handsome stranger comes to town. Eve is certainly drawn to him, and he seems to have the same a reaction to her. But his darkly mysterious past could wreck Eve’s gladly ever after-just when it finally appears within reach. And just when she’s relying on the best Xmas of her life.

Contains mature themes.
