Years ago, Harlan Sullivan broke Savannah Taylor's heart. Now, he's back in Whiskey River as the new owner of the local construction companyโand Savannah's new boss. Giving up Savannah was the hardest thing Harlan ever had to do, but itโs way past time to explain why he did. Besides, after fourteen years, they have both moved on. Or so he thinksโuntil their unexpected meeting at Felicityโs Christmas Ball shocks him into realizing his buried feelingsโand secret passionโare very much alive.
As long as she keeps a tight grip over her emotions, Savannah is confident she can weather having her old flame become her new boss. Sheโs even willing to indulge the desire that time seems to have intensified. But thereโs no way she will let Harlan anywhere close to her heart.
Harlan soon realizes he wants more from the sexy, sultry Savannah than a temporary affair and sets out to convince her that this time, their love will last forever. But it will take a bit of Christmas magic from the Harwood Inn ghost to bring this reluctant bankerโs daughter and determined Barrels Bad Boy to their happily-ever-after.
