author: Ferrarella, Marie
description: SHE'S ABOUT TO LEARN JUST HOW COMMITTED HE IS…
  
  There is nothing Cristina Roman loves more than being a mom. Although working as the chef at her family's inn, Ladera by the Sea, is a close second. And a quickly rising third is her new -- or actually old -- love interest, Shane McCallister, the local contractor. After her husband's tragic soldier's death, Cris thought she would never be able to move on. But with the way Shane looks at her as he works and the way he bonds with her five-year-old son, Ricky, she might be persuaded.
  
  And then her wealthy in-laws sue her for custody of Ricky. Now facing every mother's worst nightmare, she'll do anything not to lose her child, and Shane is determined to help. Could her sister's Christmas wedding be the inspiration they need to imagine a solution?
