She darn sure doesn’t need the handsome but grumpilicious Dr. Jim Grant as a distraction. Jim Grant lost his beloved wife three years earlier around Christmas, making it doubly heartbreaking. When he forces himself to attend the neighborhood block party, he certainly doesn’t want to schmooze with the new neighbors’ gorgeous daughter, Anne. Except that he does. Can an out-of-practice doctor and a headstrong, heartbroken woman find a Christmas miracle of their own? Might take something a little stronger than mistletoe…
