The holiday season's never been my thing. At least not since Mom passed and left me drowning in debt and a sleigh ride business in my small town that generates more problems than it does revenue.
Just when it looks like things can't possibly get any worse, a half-frozen, hypothermic - yet blazing hot - man stumbles into my cabin, and it's up to me to save him. Meet snow polo champ Garvan Carachan: a single dad on a mission to reunite with his son in the midst of the worst snowstorm of the century.
Garvan's desperate to leave and save Christmas for his son, and even tries to commandeer my horse and sleigh to get the rest of the way to the airport, but I can't let him go alone - especially when he heads off in the completely wrong direction. That horse and carriage are all I've got left... and Garvan isn't half bad, either.
In the midst of the raging storm, he hits me with an offer: become his son's traveling nanny so he can actually spend time with him. It's tempting, crazy, and the answer to my financial prayers. But it means leaving Aspen and the memories I hold dear, not to mention the complications of a boss-with-benefits relationship that seems to be rapidly forming.
As mistletoe magic starts to work its spell, I'm beginning to wonder - can I actually keep this secret affair secret in such a small town, dodge his nosy in-laws and find a way to heal both of our broken hearts?
Prepare for a Christmas romance that proves miracles can happen, especially when you least expect them.
I wish this book had better ratings. It is a cute story of a neuro-divergent widowed dad and son grieving their first Christmas without mom. They meet a quirky woman who just lost her mom to cancer but "gets" their awkwardness. The first few chapters are the hardest to get through until you realize what is up. Then it is cute and fun as both parties grieve and make new memories.
