On top of that he's been raising three young kids on his own and barely managing to make ends meet. He's exhausted, overwhelmed, depressed, and lonely. Can anyone or anything change that? Can he find a reason to hope again this Christmas, to let someone in to the broken pieces of his heart and allow himself to love again?

That the two of them just might be what the other needs to help make each other whole. This book contains explicit sexual content and is not intended for anyone under the age of 18.
