Trudy McNamara doesn’t do Christmas anymore. But she will do anything for her nephew Mark, even take him to visit Santa. After Dad died and the holiday bucket lists stopped, December hasn’t been the same. But Trudy finds herself tangled up with the toy store Santa and Christmas when she discovers her mom … dated Santa.
Never again.
That's what Chloe Swartz swore to herself after the loss of her husband three years ago: Never again would she let herself fall in love.
Especially with men who run into burning buildings for a living.
But that promise is put to the test when she finds herself on her knees for a man who reignites the flames of desire inside of her. With Holden, she finds a refuge from her grief as he lavishes pain and pleasure on her in equal measure.
A love story of self, of past, of present, of future. One woman’s journey to put the pieces of her life together in the most meaningful way — at times chaotic, at times cathartic, but ultimately beautiful in all its imperfect pieces.
