Trish Ackerly never expected to cross paths with Ian Rafferty again, but when she spots the former bully of her childhood years through her bakery window, she thinks she may just have been given the best Christmas gift the opportunity to finally give Ian the comeuppance he deserves.But clearly she does not have a knack for this whole revenge thing, because before she can make good on her plans, Trish gets inadvertently drawn into Ian’s life in an unexpected way that lets her see just how different the man is from the boy he used to be. In fact, much to her astonishment, she actually starts to like the guy.A lot.Trouble is, Ian doesn’t know who she really is, and explaining it to him is going to be a little difficult now—which is bad news, because Trish is starting to realize that all she really wants for Christmas this year…is Ian.

Reviews

[Addie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A cute and sweet holiday novella, easily finished in one sitting. Trish and Ian were actually kids at the same elementary school, but Ian doesn't recognize Trish since she grew up. Trish remembers Ian bullying her and is ready to tell him off for it. But when she sees Ian's daughter experience heartbreak from bullying by a neighbor, Trish can't help but be there for the little girl. And that's when the sparks of attraction start flying between Ian and Trish, making everything complicated.
