Come home to Safe Haven, where the best Christmas surprises aren’t the ones under the tree.

Holly Gibson has one wish this Christmas season: to find her young niece’s father. And she’s traveled hundreds of miles to the small town of Safe Haven to make that wish come true. But the mysterious Cash O’Dwyer is nothing like she expected. Strong and kind, he makes her heart beat faster. And suddenly that little secret she’s keeping about her sister stirs up all kinds of guilt…

Cash is stunned—and more than a little wary—to discover he’s a father. Having a family of his own was never part of his plan…until sweet baby Penny and her fiercely independent aunt Holly arrive in town. Now he’s trimming trees and stuffing stockings for three. But when the ghosts of Cash’s past threaten the future of his fragile new family, he’ll do whatever it takes to be the father Penny needs—and the man Holly deserves—for more than just the holidays.

Holly made her way to safe haven to find the father of her niece. This isn't the first time someone has claimed that he fathered a child only for it to turn out false and his history has made Cash wry of her claims. But after finding out there is truth to it he wants to be in his child's life. Holly is independent and refuses help but child support can help the baby. This christmas holiday is about to get plenty complicated.

Finally come across a book with some christmasy things going on! I really enjoyed this book. I loved how welcoming Cash and his family was. I thought it was interesting getting to know these characters and how different they were and how it impacted their lives as the adults that they are. Holly is fiercely protective and independent and finds it hard to accept help from other even when things are taking its tolls. It was interesting seeing how everyone slowly got Holly to open up a bit and seeing her building relationships with those around her. Then there is that slow simmer of attraction between Holly and Cash and even if that happening I love and appreciate how this book manage to keep it clean. Overall this was a pretty great contemporary book I really enjoyed it.
