Boone Hatcher. He’s the very definition of ‘the bane of my existence’. He’s also the main attraction in all my dreams. I’m the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. I’m not here to impress, so I don’t care what anyone thinks of me. That’s before Boone. And Reed Thornton. Rich, popular, and chiseled jaws make all the girls weak in the knees. By the end of summer when they leave for college, I’m fully invested, or at least, that’s what my heart tells me.

Christmas is more than a tradition with my family, it's a business. My grandparents opened a store which celebrates it year round. I know it sounds amazing but it's not. You see... my name is Shane. Shane Claus, and I own a Christmas store in Cherry Grove, SC. Yes, at the beach. But this year, I'll be spending the holidays in the snow, or so my daughter Sophie hopes! We lost her mom five years ago and for the first time since, she's asking for a present. To visit the town of Santa Claus, Indiana.

Racing is in our blood, and he's under my skin. Now, if I can just get into his head and stay out of his bed, we'll both be on the right track. We're just nearing the finish line, when he throws out the caution flag, sending me crashing into the wall he keeps around his heart. Too bad for him that wall is now crumbling.

Looking back over the past few months, I never imagined I’d be standing here asking for forgiveness. Wanting her was never in the plans, but when your heart knows, you find yourself needing everything that is her. I made my way back home broken and lost, refusing to connect to my old life, to who I am. Afraid of what I might find, hating myself for hiding untold truths. 

When Lachlan Daly forced himself into my life, I fought like hell to keep him at a distance. He invaded every part of my being with his rugged good looks and charm. I wish I would’ve known the secrets and lies that laid behind those whiskey-colored eyes. Because the minute I let him in, betrayal wasn’t far behind. Between his deception and his brother lies, I’m not sure who I fell in love with. I can’t decide if we’re worth the fight or if it was ever love at all. One thing I do know, it’s time for a rebellion. There’s something to be said for shots of whiskey—straight.

Lachlan Daly makes me feel everything I swore I never would. One glance into those whiskey-colored eyes and I’m lost. His on-again, off-again desire for me has my head spinning and my pulse pounding. The minute I think I have it figured out, I find myself making decisions that we both will regret. Ink and whiskey have a way of making the truth come out. 

You know that old saying…. He's the next big thing. Yeah, that was me. I was a rising star, and I couldn't have been happier. Fame, money, women at every turn. I had it all, until the day my world came crashing in. I never fathomed this would be my life. But here I am, a single dad at 28, and I have no clue what I'm doing. I pray every day I'm giving her the best life, 'cause it's the only one I know. The minute I had lost everything and had nothing left to give. Charlee showed up.

Have you ever wanted to go back? I’ve contemplated it every day, for the last six years. Knowing that once I did, I’d wreck everything all over again, but still - I dream. Until last night. My past came back to me. As I finished my set, looking through the smoke and flashing lights, I see him. The wreckage still written on Chord’s face tells me hell’s coming.

Change. It's change and how well you handle it which defines a person. Three times in my life, I have been faced with such changes. Once when I was 14. Again, at 18. And now again at 28.

I’m the businessman everyone wants to be and the man every woman wants to tie down. They say I reek of old money and I’m sexy as sin. I’m not looking for love but when Hadlea Lloyd books me to renovate her new place, all I can think about is becoming a sinner. She's hotter than hell and tough as nails.

I told myself I'd never allow this to happen. All I wanted was some fun. I never expected that meeting her would turn my life upside down.
