Healing a Wounded Heart This Xmas

A dark past. A forbidden love. A second chance wrapped in danger and desire.
Sophia Masters has spent years outrunning her scars. As the manager of one of the world’s biggest rock bands, she thrives in the spotlight—far from the pain she buried long ago. But when a family Christmas pulls her back to her hometown, the ghosts of her past aren’t the only thing waiting for her.
Ray Flanagan, the boy she once trusted with her heart, is no longer the quiet kid from down the street. Now a feared enforcer for a powerful Boston mafia family—and a widowed single father—Ray lives in the shadows, hiding pain behind hard muscle and cold resolve.
Their reunion is instant fire. But the world Ray inhabits is brutal and unforgiving, and Sophia’s reappearance threatens to unravel everything he’s fought to protect.
As old feelings reignite and danger closes in, Sophia must choose: walk away from the only man who ever truly saw her—or fight for a love that could cost them everything.
