He’s grumpy, she’s on the run & this Christmas, they just might save each other.
Event planner Noelle Parker wasn’t planning to crash her car on the snowy roads outside Aspen Grove. But when her ex starts hunting her down, the only man standing between her & danger is a broad-shouldered deputy with a beard as rough as his voice.
Deputy Hank Brennan stopped believing in Christmas miracles the day he buried his wife. Playing Santa’s helper at the town festival is just a way to keep his late mother’s tradition alive, until Noelle shows up, trembling & stubborn & everything he swore he’d never want again.
Snowed in, hiding out & forced together by circumstance, the line between protection & passion starts to blur. She’s sunshine through his storm. He’s the safety she never thought she’d find again.
Tropes: Grumpy/sunshine, protective hero, small-town Christmas romance, forced proximity, found family, healing from trauma, possessive hero, HEA.
