Erin Green is ready for a break after a harrowing campaign with newly elected Senator Ware. And she's ready to take that break by celebrating her first Christmas with the love of her life, newly retired soldier turned investor, Samuel Carter. Unfortunately, it turns out they have very different ideas about how Christmas should be celebrated. They have a spat over which traditions to follow, but one one thing they do agree on is a trip to Club Solitaire for the annual Christmas party where Christmas wishes of a more carnal nature are destined to come true. When mother nature keeps them from returning home, it looks like the new couple will have to form some new traditions for Christmas. New Tradition is best read after you've read Ice, also by Ivy Nelson.
