Going home for the holidays is supposed to be joyful and relaxing.
Until I land in Chicago and reconnect with Evan Holt.
Cue anxiety, hopeful star eyes, and sweaty palms.
Three years ago, the ambitious lawyer and steadfast single dad broke my heart.
That hasn’t stopped him from appearing in my dreams or lingering in my thoughts as a big, unanswered “what-if?”
Now, I’m back, he’s here, and I’m volunteering to babysit his son Ollie.
Slipping back into old routines with Evan is easy.
It isn’t long until I’m desperate for his touch, longing for his smile, and giddy to see him at the end of each day.
But our spark is about to be snuffed out.
As things between Evan and me heat up, my past comes roaring back.
In the shape of a man who damaged me a million times worse than Evan, forging my jaded heart.
In a dangerous threat that looms larger the closer Evan and I become.
Three years ago, Evan Holt didn’t fight for me.
This time, he’s not backing down.
I am.
