Seven years ago, Jack Bennett gave Mary Claire Coleman an ultimatum: marry me or Iβm out of here. When she declined, he kept his word and moved halfway across the globe.
Imagine Mary Claireβs surprise when Jack walks into her local Boise watering holeβand back into her lifeβtwo 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 isnβt just in her headβitβs 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 everβeach other.
