by Raeanne Thayne
Christmas has always been single mom Holly Goodwin Moore's favorite time of year, but she's just not feeling it this year.

She told a little white lie about having a new boyfriend as her plus-one, hoping to save face. She needs a date for the wedding ... and she needs it now. Ryan Caldwell wants to be free this holiday season. So even he isn't sure how he landed in Shelter Springs, looking after his niece, Audrey, with his estranged father down the road. But when he meets Holly, she makes him want to belong for the very first time. So they make a deal: he'll be her date if she'll help him give Audrey a true Christmas to remember while her mom is away.
