Annabelle Taylor works way too hard. She's close to reaching her career goals, but it has been at the expense of her personal life. What good is a corner office if you can't truly enjoy it? She has barely seen her family in a year, and she misses them dreadfully. Now she's home for the holidays, even though her smarmy boss gave her a bunch of crap about taking time off. She knew she was ready to take some time to wind down and relax, but what she didn't expect was the smoldering kiss beneath the mistletoe from long-time family friend, Rafe. She's known Rafe since they were kids, and has had a crush on him since she was twelve. Rafe had always thought of Belle as a little sister until five years ago at her law school graduation party, when he suddenly realized she had grown into a beautiful woman. Now he hopes there's room in Belle's life for him - forever.
