Christmas is just another day. But my employees are threatening to quit if they have to work Christmas. Again. When I lived in New York, avoiding the holiday was easy.
Now I’m back in Mule Creek and in a secret relationship with my late sister’s husband, grumpy Irishman and diner owner, Aidyn Christy.
How can I enjoy the holiday season when Aidyn insists on keeping our love a secret? When my absent parents return to Mule Creek, insisting I host family Christmas, I turn to Aidyn for help.
I can do this. Pretend to be joyful. Pretend Aidyn is just my brother-in-law. Pretend egg nog and Christmas lights can piece this family together. It should be easy.
I’ve pretended I’m not in love with Aidyn every day since we met. But I’m tired of pretending. Tired of planning weddings for others. When will it be my turn?
How can I convince Aidyn we’re worth the risk?
