Blurb

It started as a holiday fling. Will it end in heartbreak?

Klara

After a heart-smashing divorce, a fresh start on an Army base in Germany is exactly what I need. No more whispers behind my back. No more pitying glances.

My new teaching job is my refuge, until…

Logan, a hunky single-soldier dad struggling to help his defiant son.

From that first meeting, our attraction sizzles.

But a forbidden fling with my student’s father could destroy my career and crush my heart.

Logan

Military life almost cost me my son.

After a bitter split, one yearly visit is all we’re allowed—until Cody lands on my far-flung doorstep.

I’m determined to give him the stability he’s never had, despite his belligerent teenage attitude.

My hunger for his hot, compassionate teacher is a secret I’ve got to keep undercover.

But I’m a soldier, not a saint.

And Cody’s not a fool.

The clock on our Christmas romance is ticking, and neither of us is ready for goodbye.

Come to Kittburg, Germany for a heart-warming love story with found family, second chances, and a Christmas to remember!

Excerpt

My defenses drop away as Klara’s magnetism draws me in, strong and true. I brush my lips over hers. “What do you hope, my Christmas angel?”

I hope we get the chance to know each other.” She feathers kisses over my mouth, my cheekbones, my closed eyelids, as if memorizing the shape of me.

And then, hallelujah and glory be, she slides her hand under my sweater to stroke over my bare skin.

At this first skin-on-skin touch, heat roars through me, making my nerves sizzle. But I’ve seen too much of life’s mess not to think of consequences.

Is this what you want, Klara? Because there’s no way this doesn’t get complicated.”

She sighs, her breath hot against my cheek. “Honestly, I’m afraid sex with you will lead to feelings bigger than I know how to handle.”

My thumb traces the tantalizing outer curve of her breast, and I swear, I understand now what people mean by ‘my heart swelled in my chest.’ And though I’ve never been any good at expressing big feelings, this surge of emotion pushes the words out.

There are a hundred reasons not to open that door, Klara, but being with you feels so damn right. I can’t offer as much as you deserve.” I press my lips to hers and just breathe her in. “But I really want to explore this with you, and if you’re willing, I’ll give you everything I can.”

Her gaze is solemn as she cups my face in her palms. “I’ve learned the hard way that nothing worth having is simple and easy. So yes, I’m ready to gamble on a good thing.”

Happiness fills me like sunshine. Though I know our time is limited, I can’t rush this moment, this precious chance to explore Klara’s lush body. I sip at her lips, caressing her ribs, her hips, my hands greedy to memorize every curve.

With a hungry mewl, she chases my mouth and licks inside, her velvet tongue sweet and hot. Back and forth we parry, my gestures deliberately slow, hers increasingly frantic. Rising onto her knees, she bunches my sweater and tugs it up.

Easy, now.” Chuckling, I wriggle out of the pullover she seems hellbent on tearing from my body.

Klara’s glittering eyes drink in my naked torso, and her warm hands trace every exposed inch. Her sigh shudders through slack lips. “Logan, ever since I saw you in the steam room, I have dreamed of this moment.”
