With Christmas fast approaching, the last thing widowed businessman Dawson Burke needs is the pesky personal shopper he hired prying into his personal life, even if Eve Hawley claims it will help her do her job. For him, Christmas is a reminder of the tragedy that changed his life forever. He doesn’t celebrate the holiday. He doesn’t even want to think about it. But sexy, blunt-talking Eve is determined to find out what has turned Dawson into such a grinch. Unlike her, he has a loving extended family, yet he plans to jet off to Cabo and spend the holidays alone. The more she learns, the more drawn she is to the man she glimpses behind the grief. Eve is persistent. Dawson will give her that. For the first time in years, he’s remembering what it feels like to laugh, to make plans, to be fully alive. But can he finally break free from his misplaced guilt and embrace a future with Eve?
