But hearts are rarely sensible, especially when longing collides with limits. How do you heal when desire refuses to stay quiet?

Slowly, against her will, the spark of Christmas starts to sneak back into her world—and so does Dylan. Yet behind his grin lies a secret that could undo everything.

Women are not in his plans, nor will they ever be...especially Markie, the one who gets his dormant juices flowing while irritating him at the same time. When the municipal code violators that Bryce is investigating are murdered, Bryce becomes Markie's number one suspect. Or, is he another target? Is she?
