CHRISTMAS SPARKLE

When Cody Whites anxiety reaches a breaking point, hes sent to the small town of McAdenville for a quiet escape. Instead, he gets tricked into running a local five-and-dime -- and handed over to the care of Joshua Lee, a gorgeous ex-Marine with a heart as big as his shoulders.

Cody doesnt want a babysitter, even if Joshua is the most attractive man hes ever seen.

Joshua understands Codys silent struggles better than anyone. He runs to McAdenville every winter to escape his own corporate anxiety and find peace under the holiday lights. Helping a friends shy son find his footing seems easy enough -- until he actually meets Cody. Suddenly, Joshuas protective instincts kick into overdrive, especially when a predatory local butcher tries to slide his way into Codys life.

This Christmas, under the glow of a million twinkling lights, two anxious souls might just find the one thing theyve been searching for: each other.
