A Christmas engagement, broken months later, rocked Candy Kaine's world. Christmas no longer carries happy memories. Cramming her schedule with college courses, full time work, and a few side jobs numbs the pain for a while. With the holiday season quickly approaching, Candy's ostensibly happy life is upended when a posh resort threatens to buy the satellite campus in her small town. When the resort's team comes to town, Candy is determined to fight for her campus and against her growing attraction to one of them. Will she allow the heart-break from last Christmas to ruin this season's possibilities or will Past, Present, and Future experiences give her the courage to open her heart before it's too late? Jace Marlowe is struggling to survive the aftermath of a bad breakup. A temporary job for a ritzy resort could be the turn-around he's looking for. However, it comes with some drawbacks. The first being a requirement to return to his hometown, a place he's vowed to never go back to. The second he discovers upon arrival. His grandmother's beautiful neighbor. She wants to keep the school just where it is. If she doesn't get her way will she be as vindictive as his ex?
