Sophie Bennett has made a career out of creating beautiful Christmases for other people-and leaving before anyone can mistake the magic for something permanent.As a professional holiday decorator, Sophie knows exactly how to transform an empty room into a celebration. What she doesn't know how to do is stay. Her childhood taught her that beautiful homes can still be lonely places and that people who promise forever often disappear. So she keeps her life packed into a suitcase, moves from contract to contract, and never allows herself to become emotionally attached.Her latest assignment seems perfect.Lucas Pierce is a wealthy, emotionally distant widowed father who lives in an enormous Victorian estate with his eight-year-old son, Theo. The house is immaculate, elegant, and completely devoid of warmth. Lucas wants Sophie to give Theo the Christmas he deserves, but he has no idea how to create the family atmosphere his son desperately needs.Theo is the first person to break through Sophie's carefully constructed defenses.The quiet little boy watches her decorations with cautious hope, longing for the kind of Christmas memories other children take for granted. Sophie recognizes that loneliness immediately. What begins as a professional project slowly becomes something much more personal as she brings color, laughter, traditions, and warmth into the Pierce home.Lucas notices the change too.At first, he sees Sophie as an employee hired to perform a temporary service. But as she brings his son back to life, Lucas begins to see the woman beneath her professional armor. His own grief, however, has taught him to distrust attachment, and Sophie's determination to leave after Christmas makes him afraid to hope again.Sophie tries to maintain the boundaries she has always relied upon. She tells herself that Lucas and Theo are simply another family, another beautiful room she will eventually pack away. But the more time she spends with them, the more she realizes that she doesn't want to leave.When the contract ends and Sophie returns to an empty apartment, she finally understands what she has been running from all her life. She doesn't want another temporary life. She wants the noise of the Pierce kitchen, Theo's laughter, the imperfect warmth of a real home, and the man who slowly stole her heart without ever asking for it.Now Sophie must decide whether she is brave enough to turn a Christmas assignment into a forever home.The Christmas Dad Who Stole My Heart is a warm, emotional holiday romance about grief, healing, family, and discovering that sometimes the home you've spent your life avoiding is the one your heart has been searching for.
