They grew up together...
Caio and Lara met at school.
He became the boy who defended her from all the bullying she endured because of her leg prosthetic and who saw strength when she only saw scars.
They became best friends.
But deep down, maybe they both knew there was always something more.
After finishing high school, Caio left for college in Europe, leaving behind the feelings that were never spoken.
They spent years apart, trying to move on with their lives and bury what they felt once and for all…
Until he showed up by surprise to spend Christmas with his family.
That reunion after years, amid the colorful lights and magic of a season that had always been special to them both, brought something new to the surface.
Now they are a man and a woman, fighting to resist the whirlwind of desire they ignite in each other, which seems to grow with each day of the little time they'll have together.
Will they be able to resist?
Or will they give in, risking a lifetime friendship for a relationship that would end before the Christmas lights even went out?
Perfect for readers who love Christmas stories and emotional (and steamy) reunions that warm the heart.
SPIN-OFF OF THE CEO'S HOPE
They are standalone stories, and it's not necessary to have read one to understand the other.
If you started with this one, it's definitely worth reading The CEO's Hope as well to follow the romance of Marcos and Luciana (Lara's stepfather and mother), and also to meet Lara and Caio when they were still children, since the "first" book takes place 12 years before this one.
