With her career as an artist finally taking off and her
social life in full swing, Collette Jenkins is happier than
ever—until just weeks before the holidays when a letter
that's been lost in the mail arrives. Still reeling from
the stunning news that the only family she ever knew is not
her family at all, Collette heads for the Miami home where
she was raised, and comes face-to-face with another specter
of her childhood—her first love, Dexter Harris. Vowing to
uncover the secrets of her past, Collette turns to the one
man who offers friendship and support—and makes her heart
race with hope for the future.
Now divorced and a college basketball coach, Dexter can't
help but remember that he gave up Collette once before—and
he won't stand idly by when she's determined to find her
true family. Convincing her that celebrating Kwanzaa might
give her newfound courage will be tough. But Dexter will do
whatever it takes—especially when he realizes the season's
message of love is the best gift he can give.
