Christmas quietly at home in Amber Falls. Simple, peaceful. At least that was the plan.
But this year’s guest list includes an unexpected name—Sawyer Lancaster, my boss. Impossibly hot, and a true New Yorker through and through.
One thing I never expected? To be sharing Christmas cookies and laughter with Sawyer in my childhood home, trying desperately not to let him see just how much I’ve been secretly pining for him.
Unfortunately, the universe has other plans.
A snowstorm of epic proportions has him stranded, and flights aren’t going anywhere. And as the temperature drops outside, things inside are starting to heat up. My boss, it turns out, might just be as interested in me as I am in him.
As we navigate family traditions and sleigh rides, I’m starting to wonder if this unexpected Christmas might lead to something more—something like forever.
But with the snow melting and reality waiting back in the city, can what started as a holiday fluke turn into a New Year’s resolution to last a lifetime? Will Sawyer and I find a way to turn our holiday fling into forever after the storm clears? Or will I end up with nothing but cold memories?
Don’t mix business with pleasure. A rule easier said than followed, especially after being trapped with Sawyer, my boss, who’s as enigmatic as he is captivating. Amid the magical Christmas backdrop, with sleigh rides and mistletoe, it seemed the feeling was mutual.
But as the festive lights faded, so did Sawyer. Back to NYC, into a sudden and unnerving silence. No calls, no texts—nothing.
He promised a short ten-day trip, but a month later, silence still filled the air. Driven by a mix of concern and curiosity, I impulsively caught a flight to the city, needing to uncover the truth. Desperate for answers, but nothing prepares me for the sight that greets me: Sawyer with a toddler. Yep, a little mini him.
All those Christmas lights must’ve blinded me because the man I thought I knew might just be a mystery wrapped in a riddle. Was our holiday romance real, or have I fallen for a lie?
Dedicated father. Devoted husband. Grieving widower—one label I never thought I’d have.
I was barely keeping it together when Owen walked into our lives. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to find myself relying on a manny with a heart as big as the sky.
After losing my wife, I was adrift, wondering how I’d manage to raise my children alone. Enter Owen—a godsend, a lifeline, a manny who turned our world right side up again. For six years, he’s been more than just a caretaker; he’s been the glue holding us together.
I love taking care of Dean and his kids, but I’ve broken the cardinal rule of my profession: No falling for the father. Especially not one who’s straight.
With emotions he’s kept buried for years, Owen decides he can’t stay. And just like that, the foundation of our family is threatened.
Faced with the reality of losing Owen, I must confront the feelings I’ve hidden from myself. Can I open my heart to the man who’s been my rock, my friend, my family? It’s time for another wake-up call. Because if I don’t act now, I might lose the second chance at love that I never saw coming.
In this journey of self-discovery, I find that true happiness has been right in front of me all along. Now, I just have to be brave enough to reach out and take it. Or risk losing Owen forever.

​
