When it comes to love, Leilani Carter don’t play with her peace.
After a Christmas heartbreak shattered her trust last year, she swore love wouldn’t get a second chance.
Then she meets him. Roman Pierce, handsome, guarded, self-made, and allergic to anything that smells like vulnerability.
He doesn’t do holidays. Or romance. Or forever. Until her.
What starts as business turns into warmth… then chemistry… then something deeper they both fear.
But when ghosts of Christmas heartbreaks return to test them, they must Run back to the pain that shaped them?
Or fight for the love that can heal them? This Christmas, the greatest gift
won't fit under the tree, it'll beat inside their chests.
