When Jemma Banksโ father breaks his pelvis, she only comes to Marietta to take care of him because itโs close to Christmas and he has nobody else. He abandoned her as a teenager and even though heโs desperate to make amends, sheโs determined to leave with the frosty walls around her heart firmly intact.
Local physical therapist EJ Corpa is good at three things: sex, snowboarding, and healing. When he lays eyes on his patientโs daughter for the first time, he knows he wants to show her all three. Jemma is beautiful, stoic and guarded. But deep down, he sees a woman whoโs longing for a little fun. When she agrees to help with his clinicโs tree for the Mistletoe and Marietta auction, the armor sheโs so carefully constructed begins to fall away, and the magic of the holiday season takes hold.
As EJ and Jemma fall for each other, she will finally consider peace and forgiveness. And EJ will begin to see that lifeโs adventures are more thrilling when thereโs someone to share them with.
