A bad boy. A blast from the past. A very un-festive mistake. And a love so unexpected yet so strong, it makes Christmas Day look like a regular Sunday...right before someone goes off the cliff...
Alright, it's a hot mess. I admit it. And right before Christmas, too. But I can't take any of it back. I mean, is it possible to have a midlife crisis in your thirties? But, despite all the errors in my judgment, Emmett's gaze still comes my way. Something in his eyes tells me that he isn't perfect, either. What I soon discover is that it was not he himself that made the mistakes, rather, he was the victim of someone else's errors in judgment. The question is, can he look beyond mine?
***
It doesn't seem to matter how many times I tell myself that in my life, there is no room for relationships. Not one with a woman, anyway. The realization, for me, came at a painful price. That being said, I can't seem to tear myself away from the one woman that I should stay miles away from. Krissie has herself in some very hot water. And while that should be like kryptonite to me, it seems to have more of a magnetizing effect. I can't force her to choose. I've made my case quite clear. But when I witness a damning statement from someone that could change her life forever, I have to decide quickly if I'm going to be the one to tell her. And how can I do it, right before Christmas? Will it break her heart, or bring her closer to me? And just when I think that the answer is right in front of my face, it all comes crashing down... Crashing down a cliff, that is.
