“I have a hat too that you could have but I’m not sure how you would feel about it messing up your hair,” he told me, lips quirking up into a smile. 

I wasn’t sure if he was mocking me, teasing me, or being genuine but I didn’t care.

“Gimme,” I said, sticking out my gloved hands.

He chuckled and reached into his pocket again. He pulled out an army green beanie with his name printed on the brim. I examined it for a minute. Was I really about to wear something with this strange man’s name etched on it? Then a cold blast of wind hit me in the face and my decision was made. Yes, I was. I pulled it onto my head, running my fingers through my hair sticking out beneath it. I turned to him.

“Does it look okay?” I asked.

He stared at me for a moment, lips parted slightly, and then blinked, cleared his throat, and looked away.

“Yeah,” he grunted. “It’s good.”

Gemma Evans spends every holiday at her aunt’s house in Santa Claus, IN, taking part in the insane Christmas traditions of her very festive family. Even though her career is taking off and her mind is preoccupied with the promotion she’s slated to receive in the New Year, she takes two weeks to visit her family as promised.

But this year her mom has invited a new friend and her smoking hot Army Sergeant son. Burke Graham is brooding and quiet and too delicious for bubbly Gemma to ignore, despite just how much his surly attitude annoys her.

But as the two week holiday goes on, Gemma realizes there’s much more to the silent hunk than meets the eye. Burke Graham is a gift just waiting to be unwrapped but can Gemma wait until Christmas to see what’s under his tree?
