My marriage is a sham. I've already loved and lost my one and only. Making Carmella Juarez my wife was the only way to save my daughter, but I never intended to stay married. A decade has passed, ten years that I've kept my distance, but now it's time to set things right and free both of us.

I never counted on her being sick and nearly dying. Didn't count on falling for her as I nursed her back to health. But it's the Christmas season and what better time for miracles? My heart isn't as cold and dead as I'd once thought. Carmella has brought me back to life, and now that I've had a taste of the tempting woman who wears my ring, I know that I can't ever let her go.
