Edward
I've always kept to myself. My farm is my life, and I prefer it that way-no distractions, no attachments. But when Ember moves into the house next door right before Christmas, everything changes. She's all festive holiday warmth, lighting up my lonely winter nights and threatening to melt my frozen heart. But when a dangerous motorcycle gang starts sniffing around, I realize she's got more trouble on her hands than she's letting on. Protecting my land is one thing. Protecting her? That's personal. As the chill outside deepens, the temperature inside threatens to burn out of control. With every stolen glance and accidental touch, it's harder to remember where my responsibility to protect her ends and my need to claim her begins. With danger closing in, I have no choice but to face the truth: this Christmas, my brown-eyed firefly might just be the gift I never saw coming.
