A Home for the Holidays — Jeannie Watt

This Christmas, home might be the best destination of all.Jason Regan doesn't do relationships or long-term commitments. His engineering firm keeps him constantly on the move, and that's the way he likes it. But one quick trip to Holly, Idaho, turns into an extended stay when a judge hands him community service at the town's underfunded animal shelter.Tess Evans traded courtroom battles for saving strays, pouring everything she has into the Forever Home Animal Shelter. With her make-or-break Home for the Holidays adoption event approaching, the last thing she needs is distraction... especially in the form of a broad-shouldered, maddeningly handsome volunteer who makes her pulse race.Between fixing kennels, brushing shoulders in the supply closet, and chasing one mischievous terrier named Neville, their chemistry sparks hotter than a Christmas fire.But Jason's clock is ticking. Can a little holiday magic—and a lot of temptation—convince him that some things are worth staying for?Previously published as A Home for the Holidays.
