A Tinsel Tale: Once Upon a Christmas

By Jill Downey

Once Upon a time, a high school football hero fell in love with a future valedictorian. And they lived happily ever after... Or not.

Evie
I may be a successful defense attorney living my best life, but returning to my hometown for the holidays feels overwhelming. Mom's gone now and it's just Dad and I. Then there is the added stress of knowing that the town isn't big enough for both me and Jamie Barrington. My first love and my first heartbreak.

Of course, he's still the small-town hero... except he's exchanged his football uniform for the protective bunker gear worn by firefighters.

And... it takes all of two seconds before I run into him. But geez, does thirty-four have to look so damn good?

Jamie
I wasn't prepared to run into Evie Parker so soon. She still takes my breath away. She'd once been my everything... all I'd ever wanted. Then she'd left for college and I didn't.

Now here she is standing right in front of me, glaring, and looking more bangin' hot than a girl... scratch that... a woman has a right to. Best to ignore the ache in my chest for my girl, the one who'd left town for college and never looked back. Even if I'd been the fool to push her away.

This is a steamy holiday romance with loads of charm, a little naughty and lots of nice... a story about love, family and second chances.
