Police officer Graham Lockhart's life is dangerous enough without accident-prone Piper Wells tripping around in it-at least that's what she claimed when she declined his marriage proposal two years ago. But he can't help but wonder if there is more to her refusal. Piper always cared for Graham, but she is incapable of giving him the one thing he wants more than anything-family. All her orphaned self knows about that is how much it hurts to lose. She's better off focusing on caring for her nephew and running her business. Secondhand furniture doesn't break hearts. When an injury sidelines Piper leading into the holidays, Graham steps up to help her keep her commitment to a Christmastime auction benefiting a local family. Can they overcome the hurdles between them, or will the past and their warring hopes and fears trip them up for good?
