Christmas In Key West

She thought she could avoid him forever -- ho, ho, ho!

Only a family emergency could drag Abby Vernay home to Key West for Christmas. And there's certainly nothing holly berry and mistletoe about this visit. She's got to bail out her eccentric father, and that means taking on the local law. None other than police captain Reese Burkett, Abby's high-school crush--and the man she's been avoiding for thirteen years.

She doesn't know about Reese, but she's never forgotten the night of her graduation, a night that left Abby with bittersweet memories and a secret that changed her life. Yet even Abby can't deny that Reese's behavior has been very good and he doesn't deserve a lump of coal this year. In fact, he has a right to finally know the truth. Besides, seeing him again makes her want to let go of the past and move on to a future...together. Except he'll probably never forgive her.... Merry Christmas? Bah, humbug.
