Quincy Ryan was just handed custody of a son he didn’t know existed.

Quincy knows he has to get over his shock and give Atlas the Christmas he deserves, but how? He needs a miracle.Nicki Darren, failed actress, will take any job as Christmas approaches, … approaches, even babysitting for a withdrawn, workaholic, single father. She lost her mom as a child, too, and hasn’t had a real Christmas since, so she identifies with four-year-old Atlas.
An advent calendar of activities soon has Nicki pulling Quincy out of the house to get a tree and ice skate with his son.

I loved the whole story line,nice easy reading when you are snuggled in bed with a book you don’t want to put down!
A little boy who lost his mother. A man who discovers he’s a father. And a woman whose Christmas cheer makes everything right. A nice holiday story with happily ever after ending. Sexual situations (mild), no foul language.
it was a fun book to read
This is one of the best books I have read, captivating.
A sweet, simple story with very little heat
This book will warm your heart. Quincy is having an interesting December. First, he finds out that he has a 4 year old son that he never knew about. Then Quincy’s dad decides to buy his old childhood home and move back to the small town he grew up in and wants Quincy and Atlas to live with him. Next, Quincy must higher a caretaker to help with his son and looking after his dad who is a diabetic.
Nicki is a disappointed and disillusioned actress who has retrained as caretaker and has come to interview with Quincy about his hob offer.
It soon becomes apparent that Nicki is just the person who Quincy and Atlas need in their lives, but Quincy must overcome his personal demons in order to let Atlas and Nicki in before it is too late. Get all the feels now.
I would recommend this book. If it makes you feel something then it’s written well. I teared up twice! Great story!
This book was ok. A nice Christmas story. It was kind of predictable but a decent story and one to get you in the holiday spirit.
I enjoyed it so much. Had to keep reading to make sure it turned out okay. Very different story from a lot I have read, but I would recommend it to anyone that likes a nice clean interesting story.
Quick, easy, enjoyable read

Writing was good but a cookie cutter plot.

Set in Marietta and mentions/includes several common Marietta Christmas activities and places. I do like Marietta. Heartwarming story. I heavy sex scene near the end. Happy ending and epilogue.
Excellent story and very well written.
Wonderful characters. Liked the different premise of the nurse turning into the caretaker of the little boy.
