For years, Christmas was a lonely holiday for millionaire author Dr. Rosalia Frankenhoffer, an uncomfortable reminder of choices made a lifetime ago. It was a day she treated like any other, just another spot on the calendar better suited for touching up a pending manuscript than considering roads not taken. And as time relentlessly marched forward, Rosie learned to ignore the lingering heartache by focusing her unbridled passion into as many charities as she could cram into herself into. Between that and churning out bestsellers, she kept herself busy enough to eliminate any chance of ever getting hurt again.
Broken hearts are often blinded to what is right in front of them, especially ones like hers with decades of scar tissue (and a pacemaker); it wasn’t until that same tired heart had begun to remind her what it was like to love someone — and be loved in return — that she realized just how far the two deliciously gorgeous gentlemen had wormed their way into her solitary life. Far more than Chippendale-quality eye candy in Speedos, Vasily Korsokovach and Alejandro Ortega-Cortez had found a way to drag Rosie out of the past and into a future that she’d never expected, one where the three of them (and one exuberant cat) had somehow formed the family she’d not known had been missing from her life.
Deciding to celebrate what she now knows is her chosen family, Rosie sets out to create an experience none of them will forget, one that will restore the 25th of December back to its rightful place of honor…
