About this ebook

Hard-edged fireman Dean Mulligan has never been a big fan of Christmas. Twinkly lights and sparkly tinsel can’t brighten the memories of too many years spent in ramshackle foster homes. Although he’s established himself as one of the top firefighters at San Gabriel Station 1, he doesn’t think he’s good enough for someone like gorgeous Lizzie.

Lizzie Breen is used to fighting—from her alpha male brothers, who try to smother her in the name of safety, to the life-threatening childhood illness she overcame. She knows what she and Mulligan feel for each other is a lot more than a fling, but she can’t get him to see that. The only gift Lizzie wants to give him this season is her love, but he’s not willing to accept it.

When Mulligan is trapped in the burning wreckage of a holiday store, a Christmas angel arrives to open his eyes. But is it too late? This Christmas, it’ll take an angel, a determined woman in love, and the entire Bachelor Firemen crew to make him believe … it is indeed a wonderful life. 

Ratings and reviews

I have so loved each story in the Bachelor Fireman series. This one takes us on a journey that will have your heart racing, your eyes tearing up, and the occasional chuckle escaping your lips. We get to revisit Lizzie, Fred's sister, and learn about her relationship with Dean Mulligan. He has been pushing her away because he thinks he is too damaged to be good enough for her. However, when he falls in a burning building on Christmas Eve Eve, he realizes, in It's a Wonderful Life style flashbacks, that his life has had more purpose than he realized. In his flashbacks, we get to see some heart-wrenching moments from his childhood in foster care. We get a few very steamy scenes with Lizzie that will have you falling in love. And we get a few memories and hallucinations that will have you in tears, praying for his rescue. The story sucks you in and doesn't let go. I absolutely loved the story. Even though it's a novella, you get a complete story that takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I'm quite sad that the series is ending, but this was a perfect ending. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a delightful holiday story. This is a story I would happily revisit every
