Description

She's all about Christmas magic; he's a Grinch—cue the ice storm of the century!

When Iris Duncan tracks down her grandmother's stolen Christmas ornament to a dusty antique store in Superstition Springs, she senses instantly that she and the man behind the counter are meant to be together. Grumpy ex-Navy SEAL, Wesley Ford, is in town to babysit his father's store, not to have his solitary life upended. But a freak Texas ice storm traps them together for the holidays, and it will take a Christmas miracle for Iris to convince the widower to take this second chance at love.
