She came home for a quiet holiday. Her neighbor had other plans. Avery is an elegant, private, and perfectly composed. As a therapist, she helps other people untangle their emotions, even though she keeps her own tightly locked away. Her Christmas plan? Peace, solitude, and no holiday nonsense. Until Quinn comes crashing into her life – literally. The new neighbor next door is a firefighter recovering from an injury, and her idea of healing involves loud music, cookies for breakfast, and disastrous home repair projects. Once she meets Avery, she’s determined to get to know the beautiful woman next door, and break through that Ice Queen exterior. Quinn’s sunshine charm and persistent optimism throws Avery off balance. Avery’s commanding presence has Quinn aching to obey. One innocent favor turns into steamy nights and a connection neither of them saw coming. This Christmas, the only thing more dangerous than letting someone in is not letting her stay.
