Ignatius “Scorch” Madigan is all alone. At last. After a bitter, public split from his band, he retreats to the seclusion of a friend’s Gulf Coast beach cottage. Now he has just two weeks to pull together his first solo album and show the world—and himself—that he has what it takes to be a star in his own right. Sarita Dunway craves a refuge. Her family still treats her like their problematic wild child. They push her into Christmas prep with her godmother’s son, hoping his influence will bring her into the fold. But cheerful Christmas activities with her former nemesis leave Sarita feeling anything but festive. When her careless mistake lands Scorch in the ER, Sarita jumps at the excuse to retreat to the cottage to tend to the gorgeous, gifted, grumpy musician. He doesn’t want to need anyone’s help. She only wants to use him. Scorch begins to yearn for days with Sarita more than silent nights working alone. Sarita finds proving herself to her family pales in comparison to the joys of being in Scorch’s world. And somewhere between the sand dunes and the mistletoe, what Scorch and Sarita unwrap in each other will be their biggest holiday surprise of all.

Margo Dunway has wanderlust. It’s like regular lust, but with travel thrown in. She’s spent years locked in place, and is ready to set off on unfettered adventures as she figures out, well, the whole rest of her life. Karl Moore isn’t lonely. Not exactly. He has his golden retriever, and the choirs he directs, and his thousand dreams of settling down, securely anchored to the Gulf Coast town he’s made home. Goaded into joining an Advent handbell choir, Margo is shocked to run across Karl, a painful reminder of the church where her faith was shattered. He’s as compelling as ever, but she resolves to resist his lures long enough to survive the Christmas season. Then she can sail away from all the temptations that would hold her back from finding her true passion. Margo may be everything Karl ever dreamed of, but her dreams can’t come true if she’s constrained within the world he holds dear. He can’t be her ballast, but can his heart afford for him to stand by and watch while she flies free?
