<p> The weather outside is frightful, but kisses by the fire are so delightful . . . </p> <p> Sue Ann Simpkins is working hard to rebuild her life and find some holiday spirit.

But finding the smart, sexy woman he?s admired since elementary school waiting in the house he rented is helping to brighten his humbug mood. And when a sudden snowstorm strands them together in very close quarters, leading to one very hot night together, Adam soon realizes that what he <i>really</i> wants for Christmas is a second chance at love. Now all he has to do is convince Sue Ann . . . </p>
