This Christmas will bring the ultimate gift...

One night with a stranger changed Moira O'Brien's life forever. She's always denied needing a family of her own, until she met Gio and discovered life could offer her something more, something special—before it was snatched away. Now Gio and his daughter are back in Moira's life, and this time Gio seems determined to stay.

After losing his wife a year ago, Gio Tsiarkas is ready for a fresh start with his daughter, Emilia. He's in Kurrajong Crossing with a new home, new car, and the chance for a new life—maybe with the woman who'd been a much-needed bright spot in his life amid so much loss. All he has to do is convince his daughter that a new woman in his life won't ruin hers. Oh, and hopefully find the woman.

When love and attraction come up against parental responsibility, will Gio and Moira have to make all the sacrifices? Or will a reluctant twelve-year-old discover Christmas can be about creating new families as well as holding onto the old?
