Her Holiday Man
by Shannon Stacey
Christina Forrester is starting over. After a financial scandal sent her
ex-husband to prison, she’s left raising her young son without any of the comforts of
their old life. Budgets, coupons, lawn care—you name it, she’s learning to do it all on
her own. Well, almost on her own—she’d be lost without Gail Broughton, the kind widow
across the street. But when Gail’s son comes home, Christina’s vow to never trust a man
again is put to the test. Will Broughton left town because he was tired of being “that
poor man” who lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident. But years have passed
and, with his dad gone and his mom alone, it’s time to go home. Only his mother’s not
alone. She’s taken Christina under her wing, and the beautiful and determined single
mother awakens something in Will he thought was buried forever. As Will and Christina
are forced to spend more time together, feelings that are more than neighborly grow
between them. And with Christmas coming and a child filling both houses with holiday
cheer, it becomes nearly impossible not to embrace the joy—and the love—in their
lives.
