She hides behind her broken heart... Natalie suffered a loss no mother should ever have to, and came out the other side vowing to keep her fractured heart locked away forever. Back in the magical town she grew up in, her plans to hide away in her gram’s now empty home are foiled when a little girl suddenly appears on her porch, followed by the man she’d spent a week with years ago while standing vigil at her cousin’s hospital bed. A man she’d held in her heart ever since. As her gaze locks on those gunmetal-gray eyes, recognition is instantaneous—and the attraction as electric as ever. He’d fallen under her spell years ago… Zach couldn’t believe someone would snap at his little girl just because she’d suggested turning on Christmas lights. When he bounds up his new neighbor’s porch steps to retrieve Belle, he comes face to face with the woman who’d burrowed into his mind and heart years ago—a woman he’d not been able to forget—and was shocked at the pain and sadness still radiating from the depths of her beautiful eyes. Will she allow him to prove to her not all men have evil intentions, and open her heart to loving her holiday hero?
