Popping a tire on her police cruiser wasn't how Laura expected to end her shift. Tipping the SUV into a snow filled ditch while changing the tire? Complete rookie move. But doing it as the storm of the season rolled into Winter Lake forcing her to take shelter with the man she's avoided for five years? Definitely not on her Christmas wish list.

Nash can't believe his eyes when he spots the woman of his dreams trudging through the snow along the driveway of his new home. Laura might be his ultimate Christmas wish but finding her half frozen on the brink of hypothermia isn't the way he imagined getting her undivided attention.

With the weather forcing them together in his cramped home with only one bed, Nash knows it's the perfect time-and maybe his only chance-to get beneath Laura's tough exterior and convince her he's her perfect Christmas gift.
