It will take more than a Christmas miracle to unlock the chains around this scrooge's heart. For single-father billionaire Hayes McCall, the holidays aren’t the most wonderful time of the year. Not only has his ex-wife made off with half his fortune, she’s taken his son to Aspen, leaving him to brood alone. Then he meets Abigail Chapman, a gorgeous submissive with troubled blue eyes, and feels decidedly more ho-ho-ho. Preschool teacher Abigail has one wish—a family of her own. She came close once, only to have her dream snatched away. When she meets Hayes, New Orleans’s biggest scrooge, at a holiday party, the gorgeous Dominant tempts her…but she can’t fall for another man who already has a child of his own. As Abigail’s tenderness unlocks the chains around his heart, can Hayes let go of the past in order to make Abby’s dearest holiday wish a Christmas miracle come true?
