A Mommy for the Holidays
Nathan Cooper’s daughter wants only one thing for Christmas—a new mommy. Caring for six-year-old Katie is the widowed builder’s priority, and he doesn’t want to risk more heartache for either of them. Yet when interior designer Alyssa McCall comes to town on a temporary assignment, both he and Katie are charmed. Working together to finish the new recreation center, Alyssa and Nathan form a connection, though Alyssa worries that she can’t be the mother Katie deserves. But with one little girl—and her handsome daddy—determined to prove her wrong, this could be a Christmas to remember.
“You wanna spend time with me?”
His devastatingly handsome smile returned. “I’d like the opportunity. Why is it you seem so surprised by that?”
“Because…” Had a man ever taken the time to get to know her? What if Nathan found her lacking as other men had? The thought he might be disappointed in what he discovered had her faltering with her response.
“Alyssa…” he prodded gently.
She sighed deeply. “Because I’m not perfect.”
“And you think I am?” he replied with a husky chuckle. “Far from,” he admitted. “Just ask my brothers.”
“It’s not that simple,” she said.
“Nothing in life is simple,” he told her. “I’ve learned that the hard way. When my wife died, I forgot how to breathe. How to feel. I put on a brave face for my daughter, but inside I was filled with a never-ending numbness.” He glanced her way. “And then you came into our life. I can’t explain it, but when I’m around you I feel like I can breathe again.”

In memory of my mother-in-law, who went home to the Lord this past Christmas. You were more than a mother-in-law to me. You were my second mother. I thank you for giving me the wonderful man I am married to. You will be missed more than you could ever know.
