When workaholic lawyer Sarah Winters inherits her grandmother's beloved Christmas shop, there's a catch: she must run it through December or lose it to developers. The last thing she needs is to return to Pine Grove, where memories of the Christmas she ran away are as thick as the falling snow.
Even worse? The shop's apartment is occupied by Jack Porter-her childhood best friend, current handyman, and the guy she kissed under the Christmas tree ten years ago before disappearing to law school. Now he's all grown up, infuriatingly handsome, and determined to protect her grandmother's legacy.
When a town competition forces them to work together, old sparks reignite between strands of Christmas lights and cups of secret-recipe hot chocolate. But as Sarah uncovers family secrets in her grandmother's recipe book and Jack confronts his own holiday heartbreak, they must decide if some traditions are worth fighting for-and if love deserves a second chance under the mistletoe.
A heartwarming holiday romance about finding your way home, healing old wounds, and discovering that sometimes the best Christmas presents can't be wrapped-only felt.All Rights Reserved

She let out a piercing cry as his finger grazed her tight hole. "Fucking answer me" he roared thrusting his middle finger in and out of her whilst devouring her clit, a feeling she was so unfamiliar to. He looked up at her, watching her helpless little face plead for mercy. "Answer......" She couldn't form a sentence "I-......" her eyes widened when he took her clit between his teeth as punishment for not answering. "Maybe......" Alejandro hated her response, it triggered him. He thrusted another finger into her earning another cry. "Who?" He demanded an answer as he angrily fingered her inexperienced pussy. Thrusting in and out in deep strokes, earning a guttural moan each time. "I'll fucking kill him" he spoke huskily, moving up to her jaw, harshly kissing it, still ploughing his fingers inside of her. "Tell me Yara, who the fuck has touched you like this" he bellowed, using his free hand to squeeze her jaw in a menacing grip, making her hiss. He withdrew his hand mid-stroke, bringing his drenched fingers up to her and shoving them in her mouth, making her taste her own juices. "Does he make you this wet?" He dug his fingers deeper into the back of the throat. Inflaming her gag reflexes. She let out a muffled sob.....

An unexpected night out with a girl that seems to want to be her friend leads to all sorts of new experiences, including one that might even be love...
