Jeremy Whitehurst has tried to leave his bad-boy behavior and tarnished image behind in Alabama for a fresh start in Cottonbloom, Louisiana. Unfortunately, trouble has dogged him across state lines. Stepping up and protecting a young woman from her abusive boyfriend earned him a beat-down and got him fired. Although the thanks in the girlโs dark eyes made it all worth it, he recognizes sheโs just a different kind of trouble. A trouble heโs not sure he can stay away from.
One rebellious summer dented Kayla Redmondโs carefree innocence. Now her focus is on completing her associateโs degree for bookkeeping, and no one is going to derail her plans. Unfortunately, her job at Fournette Brothers Designs puts her in the path of the one man who has seen her at her worst, yet his blue eyes donโt judge her. He sees beyond the brokenness inside of her and rouses her wild side once more. But, thatโs what got her in trouble in the first place.
Christmas is coming and Kaylaโs ready to forgive herself and take a chance. But the holiday has only ever brought heartache to Jeremy. No Christmas miracle kept his mother clean or out of jail. Will one reckless night and some time spent in the back of a cop car be the best present Jeremyโs ever been given?
