BLURB
When Eve finds out two weeks before Christmas that
the love of her life has
been cheating, she's left with two tickets to
paradise. Defying common
sense and hoping for a Christmas miracle, she gives
the companion ticket
to a man she just met. Nick is handsome, single, and
loves Christmas
too! It seems like a perfect fit.
Nick
meets the lovely, sad Eve at a coffee shop, and he’s
instantly smitten.
Eve is beautiful, if not a little crazy. She offers
him a vacation, all
expenses paid. He takes her up on the offer because
hey, who passes up a
free vacation?
Sleigh
bells ring in paradise, and they find each time they
come together,
it’s magic. Sparks fly between them and soon,
they’re well on their way
toward falling in love. Maybe it’s the sun, surf,
and sand, or the
loosened inhibitions…
But will the secret Nick keeps tear them apart
forever?
Eve has to decide if she can forgive Nick and take a
chance on happily ever after.
The fate of Christmas is in her hands, and time’s
running out.

EXCERPT
Nick sat quietly, stirring the
chocolate into the water for a moment. “You said you believe in fate, Eve. What
if it was fate? Us meeting like this, I mean. We both love Christmas, we're
comfortable together, you just came out of a bad relationship, I came out of
one a year ago...I'm not saying let's walk down the aisle or anything, nor am I
looking to jump in your pants, I promise. Just...what if the universe pulled
some strings so we'd meet at that coffee shop...for things to happen this way?”
Eve sipped her cocoa. “Maybe. I told my best friend
I wanted a Christmas miracle.”
“Whoa, tall order there, Eve, I've been told I'm
pretty amazing, but never been told I'm a miracle...you might be hard-pressed
to make that happen with me.”
“Well, you could be just what I need to get me over
Tony for good, and we could just have fun. I'm not looking to fall in love, but
I'm just happy to have someone I can get along with, to go on vacation with.
Well, let's head back to twenty questions before things get weird. If you could
eat anything for the rest of your life, what would it be?”
“Mmm, my mom's cookies, for sure.” He patted his
flat stomach. “She makes great ones.”
“I just can't imagine you being soft and squishy
eating tons of cookies, Nick.”
“Well, thanks, I do what I can to keep fit. So if
you could do anything in the world, what would you do?”“For work, or what?” Eve
asked. “Anything.”
A mischievous glint lit up her green eyes, and she
smiled. “I'd dress up as Santa and deliver presents to kids who don't have
anything.”
Nick looked as though the wind had been knocked from
his chest, and Eve reached for him. He shied away from her touch. “Are you
okay?”
“Really?” Nick choked out.
Did I say something wrong? “Really! I do a lot with
Toys for Tots, but I wish I could do more.” Eve explained. “Are you okay?”
Nick's look of shock disappeared and his eyes were
warm again. “I'm fine, Eve. I do some work with the homeless. I'm always glad
to meet someone who has a heart for those less fortunate. Sorry, I guess I was
just surprised that people still do that stuff.”
“Oh, I understand. Tony told me I'd probably end up
getting my throat slit and wallet stolen by some hooligan I was trying to
help.” She rolled her eyes and looked out the window.
“I'm sorry, Eve.” Nick gently touched her hand. “I
can tell this is something that makes you happy. If I was—well, I'd make sure
you were safe.”
Eve glanced back at him and smiled sadly. “Hey,
thanks. He said he'd rather be sitting at home, he refused to do that stuff
with me.”
Nick growled softly, and Eve couldn't stop a shiver
that coursed through her. “Bastard. Excuse my language, but what man wouldn't
want to spend time with you?”
“Oh, you know, the kind that knock up their
secretaries while they’re engaged,” Eve muttered.
