He'd like to be the man in her life, but she already has one-hundred-and-seven collectible Santa Clauses.

Ryan
I'm not a ho-ho-ho kind of guy. My brother and I were raised in foster care, and the closest thing we had to a father was a career criminal who'd sooner steal Christmas than save it. I followed in his footsteps, I'm ashamed to say, and did things for him that I regret.

Like taking a priceless Christmas ornament from a Colonial Williamsburg inn.

I'm trying to be a better man, and the first step is returning that ornament. Except I'm too late.

The owner passed away and left the inn to her granddaughter, Anabelle-a high-strung, Christmas-obsessed loner whose cat takes an immediate dislike to me.

But Anabelle needs my help. Her inn's in trouble, and her ex is planning a hostile takeover. Besides...

I may have come to make amends, but I stay because I'm falling for the woman who loves Christmas. And I'm damn well going to save it for her.

Anabelle
When Ryan Langston booked a room in my inn and said he was staying indefinitely, I knew something was wrong.

No one stays indefinitely. Most people seem to be in a hurry to leave.

But the longer he stays, the less I worry about what brought him here...

Because this chaotic, charming man is exactly what my life's been missing.
