Victoria Davies was used to being alone on Christmas. From losing her family to a plane crash to the love of her life, her world had darkened with despair. Now she wished there was another chance at a normal life, her heart intact rather than beating but broken. She got her hope in the form of the man she had run away from.
Adam Grant was even more handsome than she remembered, and as the two reconnected, she realized how much she had missed him. Maybe they could have a second chance that had been denied them for years. Christmas was a time for hope, a time to find the one's heart desire. It was a chance of finding where love can come back into even the most desolate of times.
And Victoria and Adam could find the bliss they were searching for.
