The pleasures of Christmas. Love. The two things Jon Wilson doesnโt think he deserves, thanks to a holiday accident that took his parents. Under pressure from his uncle, Jon returns to Whispering Cove for the annual festivities, but heโs counting down the hours until he can hop a Christmas Eve plane back to his Miami medical practice.
Chef Lila Sheppard left the big city and its fast-talking men for Whispering Cove, hoping to settle down with a nice, small-town boy. Until Mr. Picket Fence appears, though, sheโs not opposed to a tango on the wild side. When Jon shows upโgorgeous, hot and temporaryโshe figures Santa delivered her Christmas present a few days early.
Soon theyโre heating up cold, wintry nights, but as they get lost in each otherโs arms, Lila begins to realize their brief affair has become something more. Yet she wonders if thereโs enough magic in Whispering Cove to show Jon that love can heal all heartsโฆand that thereโs only one place he belongs.
Warning: Contains enough passion to melt ice, and turn any blustery wintry night into a hot, sultry holiday.
