Dreaming of a Bright Christmas by #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr, previously published as Informed Risk

Mike Cavanaugh is a firefighter--he rescues people. Inviting them home isn't usually part of the job description. But when he pulls Christine Palmer out of her burning house, something about the gutsy single mom makes him want to protect her, to make her life a little better. Only, somehow Chris and her family end up giving Mike's life new meaning, and he is happier than he's been in years. Chris wants to get back on her own two feet--sooner rather than later. When she no longer needs Mike's support, will she be ready to risk her heart with him?
