This Christmas Eve, I had one simple close up the family café and face another quiet night alone. But fate had other ideas when Trystan—the boy who was once my best friend and first love—walked back into my life, dusted with snow and wearing a Marine uniform that made my heart skip a beat. I never expected to see him again, let alone offer him a place to stay when a canceled flight leaves him stranded. Under the glow of twinkling Christmas lights and over cups of hot cocoa, old memories resurface and the sparks between us reignite. But letting him in means risking the walls I've built around my heart since he left. As we get swept up in the magic of the season—and each other—one thing becomes this Christmas will change everything, and maybe, just maybe, Trystan is all I've ever wanted.
