Book excerpt: It will take a Christmas miracle... Tanner slaved away his youth, building his ice cream empire from the ground up. There was no time for love, not when work needed to be done. It didn't matter that the company ran smoothly independently or that he’d recently become a billionaire. If he didn't work, his life didn't have meaning. Until fate brought his life to an agonizing halt. Cancer. Skin cancer, no less. Facing death brings Tanner's priorities into sharp focus. Knowing he can't take his money with him, Tanner shifts his life’s goals into one last Christmas wish. Poppy had always been special to him, but it's only now, with eternity staring him in the face, that he truly understands. The only thing he wants is to spend the rest of his life with her. Can Tanner convince her to be his bride before his days are up?
