She turned him down. Twice. Karin Killigan refuses to marry Liam Bravo solely for the sake of their pending baby. This time, the widowed mother of two is holding out for true lasting love. And even though she is knee-deep in kids and family chaos, Karin and Liam's attraction is hotter than ever, but Karin won't settle.
Leasing the cottage next door on Sweetheart Cove, Liam makes himself impossible to push away. While the handsome trucking boss steps up to win over her skeptical kids, Karin refuses to mistake fatherly duty for real devotion.
Between late-night nursery runs and decorating the tree, every stolen kiss chips away at her carefully built defenses. As much as she hungers for his touch by the fire, memories of a disastrous shotgun marriage warn her against risking her heart.
Liam will have to prove he's in it for love if he wants a family for his baby's first Christmas.
