One December

She's loved him for years. Now she may have to let him go.
Nikki Mancini has spent most of her life quietly loving Mike Branagan-her brother's best friend who always treated her like a kid sister. A homebody at heart, Nikki rarely ventures beyond her comfort zone.

Mike knows all about running from the past. After losing his parents in a tragic accident at fourteen, he left New York to build a new life on the West Coast. But when new information suggests their deaths may not have been an accident, he returns home at Christmas determined to uncover the truth.

Seeing Nikki again stirs feelings he never expected. As they reconnect, friendship quickly deepens into something more. But just as quickly, Mike backs away, fearing Nikki is too sheltered by her overprotective father and limited life experience.

Heartbroken but determined to grow and trust God with her future, Nikki accepts a one-year English teaching position in Paris. Only after she leaves does Mike realize how much she means to him

But can love find its way across an ocean... and through the wounds of the past?

One December sizzles with romantic tension, taking the reader on a roller-coaster ride from New York to San Francisco, with a delightful detour in Paris. I couldn't put it down!
