Autumn disappeared from his life once. And he's not going to let her do it again.

Zack Aukey hates the holidays - despises them, actually. December carries painful memories of his first love Autumn Cleary, who left him during the holiday season. But when Autumn mysteriously shows up in Nashville on December 25 bearing gifts and apologies, Zack knows this is a holiday he won't soon forget.

And then he sees the police report.

From New York Times best-selling author J.T. Ellison comes her first holiday story, marrying the magic of the season with her signature thriller twist.
