Can his Christmas spirit banish her ghosts of Christmas past? Stephanie Neufeld despises Christmas cheer. How can she get into the spirit when the season only reminds her of a childhood she'd rather forget? But when the nurse agrees to cover a co-worker's shift to avoid the town Santa Claus parade, she doesn't expect her first patient to be her high school crush-the guy who once ghosted her after a single date. Noel Butler can't just sit around for the holidays with a busted leg. Instead, he concocts a new challenge: make the attending nurse he almost dated fall in love with Christmas. Since she won't speak to him, playing Secret Santa won't entangle his fiercely guarded heart. Will it? While Noel's selfless dedication to helping some fostered teenage twins melts Stephanie's icy reserve, she can't help but feel his Santa hat isn't his only secret. When old wounds reopen, will fear keep Noel and Stephanie frozen in the past... or can they discover a warm new reason to celebrate the season?
