Lovestruck

What’s my grown-up Christmas wish this year? For my secret crush on Hunter Callaghan to not be a secret anymore.

Everyone says he’s like a golden retriever, with his happy-go-lucky attitude and friendly personality. But I see something more – I see the vulnerable side he works so hard to cover with a smile and a joke. I see the man I wish I could spend forever with.

My wish seems to be coming true when Hunter reveals that he wants me just as much as I want him.

As long as we keep it a secret…

Small towns make relationships challenging, especially when you’ve got a big family like I do. Between my meddling brothers and my police chief cousin, no man ever wants near me.

Add on the fact that my cousin just so happens to be Hunter’s boss?

Maybe Christmas wishes aren’t enough. Maybe we need a Christmas miracle.

Because I’m not giving up on us so easily. This holiday season, I’m ready to be on the Naughty List if it means getting the man of my dreams.
