Holly's Big Bad Santa

Jared had left Danville, Kansas thirteen years ago determined to never look back. He'd hurt too many people and believed he couldn't go home again. He's a much harder man now and at a turning point in his life, filled with uncertainty.

Holly has decided to let go of the past and begin a new life in California. She'd loved Jared most of her life, but she was finally giving up hope of him returning home. Even if he did, neither of them were the same people who'd been in love all those years back. He'd made his decision to leave his family and her behind. She was making hers now. Another man wants her to be with him and she aches to be loved again.

As he is recovering from nearly dying, Jared he receives a message from his parents. They want him to come home for the holidays. And they tell him the young woman he'd once loved is preparing to leave town forever. Right or wrong, he can't continue to stay away. He has to make peace with Holly and with his family.

But is it too late?
