Vaughn Miller's Wall Street career was abruptly ended by a wrongful conviction and two years in prison. Since then, he's returned to his hometown, kept his head down and forged a way forward. When he is exonerated and his name cleared, he feels he can hold his head up once again, maybe even talk to the beautiful cafÔe owner who sets his blood to simmering. Sierra Crane escaped a disastrous marriage--barely. She and her six-year-old goddaughter have returned to the only place that feels like home. Determined to make it on her own, Sierra opens a soup cafÔe. Complication is the last thing she needs, but the moment Vaughn walks into her cafÔe, she can't keep her eyes off the smoldering loner. When they give in to their attraction, what Sierra thought would be a onetime thing becomes so much more. Vaughn knows she's the one. Sierra can't deny the way Vaughn makes her feel, but she's been burned before. With Christmas approaching, Vaughn takes a chance to prove his love, and it will be up to Sierra to decide if her one Christmas wish--true happiness--will come true.
