Enduring Christmas

Xenobia Yardell can smile through hurt, pain, and disappointment. In fact, the schoolteacher has been wearing a cheery facade since arriving in the small town of Endurance. That is, until Luke Cole kisses her. His touch pushes all the right buttons, and Xenobia's spitting mad over the undeniable attraction.  Luke Cole doesn't suffer fools or indecisive women. X wants him-end of story. He has no idea why she's angry about their one kiss, but he has no intention of enduring another Christmas alone.
