I never dreamed I’d be dressed as a deranged bear the first time I held my daughter.
Or even that I’d have a daughter.
Navy SEAL life isn’t great for fatherhood.
But seeing Jessie with baby Joy hits me like a happy holiday thunderbolt.
She’s not sure she trusts me, and who can blame her?
Maybe if we’d swapped more than ten words before falling into bed that snowy night, we wouldn’t be strangers.
I can’t regret our fling, just like I can’t ditch a military career I’ve wanted my whole life.
But maybe there’s something I want more.
Jessie, for starters. This unexpected small-town holiday.
We’re making heaps of family memories over gift wrap gaffes and sexy dreidel games.
Not to mention kisses hot enough to melt mistletoe.
I just need to prove we belong together.
Preferably before one of us hops a flight and gets gone for good.
One-click this second chance, small town rom-com about a military man who discovers he’s a father and the woman who started out as a one-night stand and might become his happily ever after.
