​A crushing breakup. A secretive fiancé. An unwelcome new face in town. And a Christmas miracle that could fix it all…or ruin everything.

So, I’m sitting in the car, with my new assistant. We just met new clients. Big clients. Clients that will help me buy that game changing Christmas present for my favorite niece. Everything rides on this project. Everything since Travis, that is. But I knew something was wrong the second we shook hands. I can think of a million things that could nix this deal. I’ve seen many and lived to tell. But something tells me that what I’m about to learn next will put us in a sticky situation. I just hope that what I’m guessing isn’t true…

***

I watch him strut out of Becky’s car and my skin crawls. Now, I’m not a jealous guy, this isn’t about that. My boss, Laura, sees it, too. While the Christmas decorations get pulled out for an early celebration, I cross my fingers, and hope to God that what my instincts are telling me isn’t true. Becky did what she had to do to make it right. I get that. But what bridges get burned now? In the coming weeks, before Christmas, it becomes clear. But will it be enough to get it all back? And then, just when I think I’ve lost it all, strangely enough, my lucky number shows me the way…
