Description:The only gift I want to unwrap this year is him.
Zach:
Yes, I did throw a rock that broke a stained-glass church window.
No, it wasn't a very becoming thing for the producer of Madison's top TV show to do.
But it was an accident, and my aim was off because I was angry.
My ex had left me and married someone else.
Now my punishment is to be paid off with volunteer work.
I'm directing the church's children's choir Christmas performance.
That, and swearing off commitment, for good.
But then Ryan Kelly walks onto the set of Morning Madison.
He's like a shadow from my past...
if a shadow could be described as hot and irresistible.
But I'm done with love, so I shouldn't get involved with him. Right?
It seems like Ryan wants to give me some big Christmas cheer.
And it's getting harder and harder to resist.
Ryan:
I'm sick of relationships; they don't lead anywhere good.
After my ex husband and I adopted our son, he decided life was too hard.
He split on us, leaving me a single father.
I moved back to Madison from Chicago to open a music shop and raise my boy alone.
I had long thought about Zach Taylor, but I hadn't ever expected to see him again.
Especially not as the producer of the TV show his friends just invited me on.
I should stay away, but I can't resist his handsome body.
His fun friends Wes and Flynn invite me to spend Christmas with their big, eccentric family.
Of course, Zach is invited, too.
I tell myself I'll go just to help out my music store and the show on a budding partnership.
Not to mention that I lack a social life these days.
But things heat up between Zach and me faster than a yuletide fire.
And soon I'm wondering how my son will react if he knows I'm in a serious relationship.
Or am I?
Is this just a short-term holiday fling?
Or will my Christmas wish come true all year long?
