Snowbound bride-to-be

A heart-stoppingly handsome man with a baby in tow isn't on hotel owner Emma White's Christmas list. She's too busy making Christmas perfect for others.

Emma's hotel is Ryder Richardson's only port in a storm. Otherwise he wouldn't be caught dead amongst all the baubles and bells that bring back the season's painful memories.

Yet, snowbound with adorable baby Tess and Emma in her surprisingly sexy Santa hat, a glimmer of a smile reaches Ryder's lips.
