Harriet York is a good person - or, at least, she tries to be. A people pleaser to her core, she always does what's expected of her.
So, when Nolan is assigned the sweeter-than-candy-canes antique shop owner for his holiday haunting, neither of them have any idea why. To escape one another, Harriet and Nolan must unravel the threads that bind them together - all by Christmas Eve.
Hand in hand, they uncover each other's pasts, but why is it that Nolan doesn't want to let go? And might Harriet be the key to giving the Ghost of Christmas Past ... a future?

Person
B.K. Borison is the New York Times bestselling author of First-Time Caller and the Lovelight series, cozy, contemporary romances featuring emotionally vulnerable characters and swoon-worthy settings. When she's not daydreaming about fictional characters doing fictional things, she's at home in Baltimore with her family, more than likely buying books she doesn't have room for.
