She realizes that he could easily be someone that she could fall for. All starts out wonderful until she meets Jack.

What happens when you try to escape from all the reminders of your lack of love (romantic love that is), and end up running headlong into the greatest surprise of your life? Luciana loves her family but needs to get away. Each book may be enjoyed as a stand-alone.Ĭharming Christmas story.
