A Christmas Love — Kathleen Creighton

CHRISTMAS TREASURE CAN BE BURIED IN THE HEART.

A fresh start--that's what Carolyn Robards wanted when she moved to the rural cottage down south. But Clay Traynor, the arrogant guy next door, reminds her all too clearly of what she left behind.

Married before, like Carolyn, Clay's ideas of neighborliness have nothing to do with southern hospitality. Not even the holiday spirit can soften his hard-edged manner. And when an unexpected crisis at Christmastime forces Carolyn to enlist Clay's help, the compassionate single mom and the handsome ex-cop find themselves on opposite sides of the fence.

Carolyn doesn't know the unbearable secret from a Christmas past that Clay has been carrying with him. Nor does she care. She only knows she needs him now

It will take a miracle to make them open their hearts to this most magical of seasons... and to each other.
