It’s Christmas in Twilight, Tx. The Cookie Membership is baking, the city is embellished, and Delta Power Operator “Hutch” Hutchinson offers finally, reluctantly, returned home .

. . . only to get pepper sprayed with the delicious- searching stranger who’s bought out his house. She says her name is usually Jane, and she instantly sets down floor rules. Priority: no touching. For Hutch that’s not easy-he was wounded doing his thing, but one component is still functioning very well.

Then Hutch learns the truth. Jane harbors a terrifying secret-she’s actually Meredith Sommers, on the run from an unhealthy ex-husband and desperately looking for the security Hutch can offer. In that second, he vows he’d perform anything in his capacity to protect her. And as Xmas approaches, they find that their like can conquer days gone by and conquer any obstacle-but what price will they pay?
