Once Upon a Christmas — Denise Devine

When old friends reunite, will a new enemy keep them apart? Ashton Wyatt has spent a decade running from her past. Hanging out with a bad crowd in high school cost Ashton her reputation, her boyfriend and her relationship with her parents. Determined to start over, she has moved far away, but can't escape the loneliness that shrouds her heart. When she receives an offer to return to the small, tourist town of West Loon Bay to revive The Ramblin' Rose Bar with her sister and her cousin, she accepts the challenge, hoping to repair the bond with her family as well. But just when her life is on the mend, she crosses paths with someone from her past and things spin out of control... The last thing Sawyer Daniels needs is to get mixed up with the town's wild child. Sawyer did his share of partying and keeping the local cops busy in his misspent youth, but he has long since abandoned that crowd in an effort to make some sense of his life. He's already under contract to renovate The Ramblin' Rose when he learns Ashton Wyatt is back in town. Though the situation gets off to a rocky start, their friendship grows as they work side by side. He doesn't realize how much he's grown to care for her until a stalker puts her life in danger. Now that he's finally found his true love, is he about to lose her?
