Deke Malone got an early Christmas present -- an almost two year old son! To say he was surprised would have been putting it mildly. But it didn't take long for him to realize that while being a dad wasn't easy, it was definitely the best and most important thing he'd ever done.
It made him think about his relationship with his own dad. It made him think about going home to Montana for the holidays and trying to mend fences long broken. He never expected to find Erin Jones there! And Erin, now a widowed mother of three, certainly didn't expect to see Deke again -- least of all with a son!
Years ago Deke had called Erin his best friend. Years ago Erin had been -- secretly -- madly in love with him. But so much time had passed, there was no way they could recapture the past. Or could they? After all, wasn't Christmas a season of miracles -- and of love?
