When a trip down memory lane brings Catherine face-to-face with the father of her four-and-a-half year old daughter, memories of a past life she fought hard to suppress begin to resurface. Chaz, a man she’d only known for three short days, had suddenly reappeared in her life. Fear wraps a stranglehold around her heart as Catherine struggles with the moral dilemma of informing Chaz he has a daughter, knowing all too well her decision will send her perfectly organized, happy world spinning out of control. But when Catherine discovers Chaz's true identity and the reason he left her all those years ago, her barrier begins to crumble. As secrets of their pasts unfold, Catherine finds it harder and harder to resist the handsome, Italian's mega-watt smile. 

     A new year was fast approaching and recently widowed, pediatrician Lance DiAngelo realized it was time to start a new life. Putting Dallas and his past to rest, Lance would soon be returning to his home town of Los Gatos and the love and support of his family and friends. Running into the one woman that ever truly touched his sole was a big surprise. Finding out her true identity was a shock. Discovering he was the father of her daughter was a dream come true and Lance wanted nothing more than to hold them both in his arms and never let them go.

     It seemed this Christmas brought the one present Catherine and Lance each, so desperately desired.

      He was a father and she was a mother…and together, they make a family.
