    About this ebook

    Mary Sherman's Christmas is nothing like she's planned. Her fiancé has called off the engagement just days before Christmas, and her parents have gone on an anniversary cruise around the world.

    Suddenly alone for the holidays, Mary returns to the comfort of her childhood home to spend Christmas in her parents' empty house. There's only one problem. The house is not empty. Unbeknownst to Mary, her parents have taken in a boarder, a handsome carpenter named Jake Wolesky.

    Mary's Christmas surprise may make this the best holiday ever.
