Holly Reynolds has a secret. Make that two.
The first involves upholding her grandmother’s hobby answering Dear Santa
letters from dozens of local school children. The second...well, he just came
strolling in the door.
For the last two years, Holly has not been
able to stop thinking about gorgeous Seattle Shark Derrick Collins. His
on-field exploits induce nightmares in quarterbacks across the NFL, but she
knows he has a heart of gold.
Derrick has never met a woman he wants to
bring home to meet his family, mostly because he keeps picking the wrong
ones-until he runs into sweet, shy Holly Reynolds. Different than anyone he’s
ever known, Derrick realizes she might just be everything he needs.
When he discovers her holiday letter
writing, he is determined to play Santa too. And as the pair team up to bring
joy to one little boy very much in need, they discover the most precious
Christmas gift of all: love.
Holly wrapped the robe around herself as she dashed
across the hall to make a pit stop. She twisted her long hair into a coil of

did something with her hair, and put on a little makeup, she’d wake up everyone
in the house. She could only hope that if Derrick saw her like this he didn’t
scream and run.
She padded down the hallway and into the family
room. Someone had left the kitchen light on during the night; she could at
least see where she was going as a result. Grandma’s family room was a
rectangle shape. Between the couch and chair and Derrick, there wasn’t a lot of
room to maneuver. He’d shoved the coffee table that usually sat in front of the
couch against the far wall to give himself a bit more room. Derrick was
sprawled out on the family room floor, hugging a pillow, and naked from the
waist up. He was snoring. It wasn’t a delicate thing, but she smiled a little.
She wondered if the sound had lulled her grandma to sleep last night. Grandma
had mentioned several times before that Grandpa’s snoring had never bothered
her, and that she still missed it—and him. She smiled at the sunburst tattoo on
Derrick’s
