He was my biggest rival in law school. Then my everything. Until he broke my heart. Mack McAllister was the most hard-core, winner-take-all law student I ever met. Next to me. It only made sense that we'd end up in a crazy, intense affair that lasted until we graduated. He went to the west coast. I headed east. Except, now, ten years later, I'm back in his territory. I don't plan to call him. That was then, and this is now. But when I discover the tough-edged, take-no-prisoners Mack McAllister is moonlighting as a mall Santa, well -- this I have to see. But the line is wild, and in sneaking through the kids, I end up on my back, tangled in tinsel, elves at my side. And Jolly Ol' McAllister is helping me up, a question in those familiar eyes. Does he get a second chance? And if he does, how long until we fall apart all over again?
