Once Upon a Christmas Eve...

Tina's Christmas spirit took a nosedive two weeks ago... along with her faith in men when she caught her boyfriend cheating. So, when a frazzled, too-late shopper stumbles into her store after closing on Christmas Eve, she greets him with her sharpest sarcasm. But her conscience has other ideas. Against her better judgment, she gives the handsome stranger ten minutes to find a gift... and ends up with an unexpected one of her own: a Christmas Eve date.Thomas has every reason to hate the holidays. A robbery left him with nothing but frustration and a chance encounter with Tina, a store manager whose wit is as sharp as her curves are tempting. She's got zero plans for the night, and he's got nothing to lose. Maybe this Christmas won't be such a disaster after all.What starts as playful banter and stolen glances quickly turns into a night wrapped in heat, passion, and surprises neither saw coming. But when the sparks of a single evening threaten to turn into something more, Tina and Thomas must decide: was this just a moment, or the kind of connection they've both been waiting for?
