Wrapped Up

When naughty meets nice.

Business deal behind him, attorney Carter Reed cant wait to put Stone Cliff Resort and the festive town of Deerfield in his rearview mirror. Once upon a time, he believed in Christmas, but that was before Santa had permanently placed him on the naughty list.

When snowy roads and a stray dog send his car into a spin, foiling his attempt to get to the airport, a woman comes to his rescue. Suddenly, he can think of all kinds of ways to pass the time, but when she tells him he hit a magical wolf and hes soon to get everything he needs, hes more determined than ever to get out of town. He doesnt believe in magic, and the last thing he needs is more false hopes and empty promises.

Biologist Josie Walker takes one look at Carter and cant help but wonder if her Christmas wish has been granted. Shed like nothing better than to take him home and unwrap him, but Scrooge is determined to get out of town. When his every attempt to flee is thwarted, Josie knows the wolf is keeping him there, because sometimes what you think you want isnt necessarily what you need.

Carter soon finds himself caught up in Josies spirit of Christmas. Making new memories with her has him wanting to ask for things—a family of his own, someone to love—things Santa had refused him as a child. But when the storm abates and hes finally free to leave, will he get on the plane and turn his back on the one girl who has thawed his frozen heart or find the courage to break his rules and ask for everything hes always needed?
