But I'll keep things professional, keep my hands to myself, and do what needs to be done. It's the perfect plan ...
Until my horse throws me and I need help from none other than the woman with the fiery tongue and the deliciously thick hips.
Yippee ki yay and Merry Christmas to me.

But an accident delays his travel plans, sending him to Danica’s doorstep and raises a need he thought he would never feel again.
