An Alaskan Christmas Homecoming — Jennifer Snow

In Wild River, Alaska, the sweetest Christmas gift may be a second chance…

Jade Frazier is thrilled to see her sister happily in love this holiday season, though she wishes Santa had something special lined up for her, too. For now, Jade will focus on the final assignment for her interior design course -- decorating a local business for the holidays. Too bad every store is already decked out…except for the new tattoo shop. Rumors are flying about the owner, Griffin Geller. But instead of the hardened ex-con Jade expected, she finds a sexy, hardworking man trying to get his life back on track.

All Griffin wants for Christmas is to reconcile with his family and gain the community's acceptance. Then smart, sweet Jade walks into his store, bringing warmth and hope with her. Griffin might deserve a shot at redemption, but love? That seems too much to ask. Yet as the holidays get closer, Griffin can't help wishing he could celebrate the season with Jade -- the one person who would make Wild River truly feel like home…
