Rooming with a hot single dad and his two adorable kids was definitely NOT on Julia’s holiday to-do list. But when a snowstorm destroys the vacation plan or rather the escape plan she’d spent months preparing—her only chance to finally break free from her toxic family—and they push her out yet again, fate delivers her straight into Alex’s arms. Literally. He finds her collapsed by the roadside and brings her into his home, where she suddenly finds herself surrounded by a warmth she’s never known. Julia wants to keep her walls high, but Alex keeps giving her reasons to let them fall. And as Christmas lights glow softly around them, sparks begin to fly in ways neither of them ever expected.
