Mistletoe Misses

True love never dies…no matter how much I run from, ignore, and bury it. At eighteen, I don’t bother to collect my shattered heart before giving my body to the Army, and years later to the Boston P.D. When my Captain thinks I’m running my life into the ground, I’m sent home to fix myself. But going to Ember Falls again could break me more. He doesn’t realize that my job provides an escape from all that haunts me. It’s what I do to survive. But in a small town where everyone knows my heartache, I’m forced to dig up and face my past—especially when Carmen, the woman who was my everything before she threw me away, has run back, too. Instead of staying out of my blazing path, she launches a campaign to win me back with the help of the entire town. Our past is like a stain on my life, and if I can’t remove it before she can convince me she made a mistake all those years ago, I risk losing more than just my career.Mistletoe Misses is a sweet and steamy, closed-door, contemporary romance.
