A Dash of Christmas

And more importantly, he needs some time alone. Thanks to her no-good fiancé, Emery Monaghan is at the center of a scandal and she needs a way out. Fast. She jumps at the chance to escape when her mentor Eliza Montgomery offers her refuge. She just didn’t expect that her refuge would involve dealing with Eliza’s son and her childhood nemesis.
