Seven years ago, Jack Bennett gave Mary Claire Coleman an ultimatum: marry me or Iโm out of here. When she declined, he kept his word and moved halfway across the globe.
Imagine Mary Claireโs surprise when Jack walks into her local Boise watering holeโand back into her lifeโtwo weeks before Christmas. Although Mary Claire put romance aside long ago to run her successful antique shop, this chance encounter has all the crackling electricity of their previous passion. She tries to keep her emotions in check, but a scorching hot date proves that their chemistry isnโt just in her headโitโs in every part of her body. If she can find a way to move beyond the ghosts of her past, this might be the year that Jack and Mary Claire unwrap the best Christmas presents everโeach other.
