Flirting online helps Jenny temporarily escape confronting the innumerable changes to her life as she slowly loses her vision.

But the forthright, trustworthy man can no longer ignore his growing attraction to his fiercely intelligent client. His only option is to end their professional relationship . . . and embrace a romantic one.   Now Jenny must choose between the safe, anonymous “C”—or the flesh-and-blood Evan, whose heated kisses can melt snow faster than it can fall. And after receiving an unexpected present for Christmas, Jenny just may find the courage to let down her defenses and trust—in herself, and in the possibility of lasting love.  Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
