Can one man’s crowded, messy life fill another man’s empty heart?
Raising a family was always Adam Mills’ dream, although solo parenting and moving back to tiny Garnet Run certainly were not. After a messy breakup, Adam is doing his best to give his young daughter the life she deserves—including accepting help from their new, reclusive neighbor to fulfill her Christmas wish.
Though the little house may not have “the most lights ever,” the Mills home begins to brighten as handsome Wes Mobray spends more time there and slowly sheds his protective layers. But when the eye-catching house ends up in the news, Wes has to make a choice: hide from the darkness of his unusual past or embrace the light of a future—and a family—with Adam.
From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Parrish's standout third Garnet Run romance (after Best Laid Plans) pairs quirky neighbors at Christmastime. Single dad Adam Mills recently returned to his hometown of Garnet Run, Wyo., with his eight-year-old daughter, Gus, settling next door to mysterious shut-in Wes Mobray, who only ventures outside his house after dark. After precocious animal lover Gus breaks into Wes's house to see his fabled menagerie of unusual pets, the men come face to face for the first time. Their chemistry sparks immediately leading to a hot hookup, and soon Adam, Wes, and Gus settle into a comfortable domestic dynamic. Wes even joins Adam and Gus in their attempt to completely cover their new house with Christmas lights, leading them to go viral on Instagram. But when people-hating Wes gets spooked by the attention, their happily ever after may become a thing of the past. Adam's open personality and Wes's guarded one perfectly complement each other, while bright, spider- and snake-loving Gus steals every scene she's in. Parrish elevates what often can be formulaic in category romances to a fine art, with laugh-out-loud dialogue, eccentric but endearing characters, and an emotionally satisfying finale. Any romance lover will get caught up in this charming Christmas tale.
