A Christmas Refuge — Rebecca Winters

After a stressful and emotionally taxing year, Spanish hotel tycoon Des Pastrana comes to his favorite retreat in the Spanish Pyrenees to get away -- from everything and everyone. So he is not happy when he's strong-armed into teaching an American tourist to ice climb. The Pyrenees are no place for amateurs.

But Allison Bonner is not your average tourist. She surprises Des with her determination and strength. Despite himself, he finds that he wants to be closer to her, even as she pushes him away. This time, it will be Allison who teaches Des…about living, about Christmas and about love.
