Introvert Dion is a quiet storm that’s been building for thirty-five years. Behind the shyness hides passion, and a wild love from a gentle soul that no woman has been able to uncover.

Then he lays eyes on an exotic young beauty, gazing in Santini’s Delicatessen window. Christmas just came early.

Anya is an impressive cook, good with children, and thrives in new situations. Lately, her fantasies of the sexy guy working the deli have made the season brighter. Maybe an innocent flirt would be a fun way to end her time in St. Helena.

Patience may be a virtue, but for Dion and Anya virtue is greatly overrated.
