The cover definitely has the Christmas touch as Mia, with the huge bunch of mistletoe in hand, and Nick embrace in the blowing snow. Both are orphans, but Nick has had to fight his way for everything. Nick is the boyfriend who’s studying to be a lawyer. Theresa is the one who is reaping what Mia taught Carlos. Tara and Ford Walker are the birth parents she met when she sought them out at seventeen.Īunt Chloe and Sheriff Sawyer Thompson have been together for five years and Chloe has the baby bug, so they’re getting married over Christmas Eve.Ĭarlos is her ex-boyfriend with a sudden urge to get back together.

Three-year-old Sierra and three-month-old Ryder are her younger siblings. Maddie and Jax Sawyer are her adoptive parents. Mia is a student in NYC and heading home to Lucky Harbor for Chloe’s wedding over Christmas Eve. The one that will have him traveling for the next two years all over the country.

She’s bought Nick a ticket to come home with her, meet her birth parents. Very sweet with a full range of emotion as Shalvis provides the background on both Mia’s and Nick’s distant past as well as their romantic one and includes just enough on her family that brings this short story to life with the love of family and friends in a short 49 pages.Ĭonsidering how short the story is and how much ground Shalvis covers, I was impressed that nothing feels rushed about this, unless it’s Nick’s quick realization about what’s important in life! The Story When Nick tries to make up for it, Mia doesn’t do the usual giving-in, she’s firm about there not being a future and he has to prove that they have one. Oh, wow, it starts all sweet and wonderful, then quickly hits a drop.
