description: I hate Christmas.I dont know who thought every female must love shopping wrapping baking and hosting but I missed the memo. On top of that I manage an upscale department store. Sprinkle in the fact Ill be turning forty during this holiday season and my life is a Christmas cookie recipe gone wrong.And every year I become a little more Scrooge-ish. But the spirit of the most wonderful time of the year seems to have a plan for me and my midlife-crisis attitude.First my past returns when I attend a high school reunion happy hour and run into that boythe one I had a summer fling before I left for college then promptly ghosted me.The torture continues because that boy is now a man worldly and wise and sexier than I remember. And he invites me to attend a holiday work party with him.Thats where I learn this forty fine former NFL quarterback now fireman has a new role: single father to the sweetest little girl putting me at risk of falling for both of them. However I have my reasons not to believe in love and the happiest time of the year. And the first twenty-five days of December tests all my strength.Just what the Dickens is happening? Charles himself might approve of this plot.Even Im a little curious to see how it all plays out.  With the past behind her and the future uncertain can Eva Nazar accept that the present is a gift and love is the greatest treasure we receive even if it isnt always wrapped in pretty paper with a perfect bow on top?
