Roisin can’t forget the man she met on her last trip to Baltimore a year ago. Jim can’t forget her either, but he hasn’t been in the States since they parted. He’s back now, with a big decision to make - whether or not to retire from the military or give Uncle Sam another few years of his life. Meeting Roisin again changes everything and throws all sorts of new and exciting variables into the calculus of his decision. Jim’s always been a steady, staid kind of man, but Roisin brings out something much more primitive in him. She makes him feel alive in ways he never could have expected or anticipated. And he wants more. Jim makes Roisin want things she’s never dared. Their one-nighter last year had been memorable, but doomed from the start. She’d had to go back home to New York and he’d been shipping out for Afghanistan. Now, when they meet again, has anything really changed or is this the start of something truly magical?

After the loss…comes the light. Navy SEAL, Alan Fraser, is home on leave for Christmas, with a big decision to make. Does he stay in the service and go back to foreign lands or does he finally retire from the job he’s loved so well? He’s lost so many friends and seen so much bad juju. Can he put it behind him? And does he have something…or someone…to come home to? Songstress Eileen Murphy is in a dark place. She’s just lost her best friend, who was the lead singer in their band. What remains of the band are all somewhat lost both musically and emotionally after the accident that took their star attraction, but they’re going on with the show as best they can. When Alan requests a song that changes the band’s whole direction and gives Eileen an idea of how they can reinvent their sound, she finds herself attracted to the tall, handsome stranger. Just as Alan is mesmerized by her voice and the shadows of sorrow he sees in her eyes. With a little help from above, perhaps Alan has finally found a reason to come home. A little angelic help at Christmas might be just what they need...
