Summary
An unlikely attraction brings comfort, joy and unforgettable romance this holiday season!
Librarian Julia Winston is ready to ditch the quiet existence she's been living. She's made a list of new things to experience, but falling for Jamie Caine, her sexy military pilot neighbor, isn't one of them. Julia's looking to conquer life, not become the heartbreaker's latest conquest. But when two young brothers wind up in Julia's care for the holidays, she'll take any help she can get--even Jamie's.
Happy to step in, Jamie reveals a side of himself that's much harder to resist. Not only is he fantastic with kids, he provides the strength Julia needs to tackle her list. She knows their temporary family can't last beyond the holidays, but the closer she gets to Jamie, the more she wonders if things could be this merry and bright forever...

Publisher's Weekly Review
Thayne's latest Haven Point contemporary is a tender holiday tale. Quiet, organized Julia Winston is a textbook librarian. Raised by older adoptive parents, Julia's has led a structured and chaos-free life. Heartthrob pilot Jamie Caine, Julia's tenant, is one of seven children and very familiar with chaos. When Julia becomes foster mom to two brothers, Clinton and Davy (ages 8 and 6), her once-lonely existence is thrown into sweet upheaval. Thanks to a brood of nieces and nephews, Jamie's experienced with dealing with children, and his male presence is just what two little boys need. Over homework, dinners, family gatherings, and a bout of the flu, the four form an impromptu family that's as natural as snow in a Haven Point winter, but is threatened by the arrival of an aunt and uncle, Jamie's playboy reputation, and Julia's thin self-esteem. Endearing small-town residents and bratty cats add humor to this heartwarming, steady-paced holiday romance. Agent: Karen Solem, Spencerhill Associates. (Oct.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Library Journal Review
Librarian Julia Winston should have known better than to agree to rent the upstairs apartment in Winston House to her longtime secret crush Jamie Caine, head pilot for Caine Tech's jet fleet, even though it's supposed to be only for a few weeks. But she needs the money, and Jamie's sister-in-law is one of her best friends. Still, an unwanted attraction ignites, and when Julia agrees to take in temporarily two foster boys and Jamie lends a hand, the dynamics change, and things suddenly become a lot more romantic. A heroine determined to experience new things and a hero committed to helping her give in to love in this story that features a number of memorable supporting characters-the young boys are particular favorites. VERDICT Deliciously flirty and totally engrossing, this over-the-top charmer is an essential holiday read. Thayne (Serenity Harbor) lives in Northern Utah. © Copyright 2017.
