Protecting my Love at Christmas - Jennifer W Smith - Bog

Max Carboni isn't looking for love. As a US Federal Air Marshal, he knows a thing or two about national threats and security-but next to nothing about running his family's garden center. While on suspended leave, after an airport situation turned bad, he returns home to the sleepy town of Evergreen, Connecticut to help his ailing mother. He left years ago to serve and protect his country but now finds himself looking after a beautiful woman and her daughter. Can what he feels for Freddie keep him in Evergreen, or will the call of duty beckon him back to DC?
Floral designer, Freddie Nightingale, is in financial trouble. Business is slow in the winter. And taking on the floral expenses for her sister's Christmas wedding might just break the bank. Working at the local garden center helps, but when a Secret Santa leaves her gifts, she's leery, especially when one is meant for her seven-year-old daughter. At least with the owner's brawny son, Max, around, Freddie feels safe. But his overprotective, dominating nature makes her crazy, tangling her tinsel.
Can their relationship bloom or will their mutual attraction blow a fuse?

These are warm and fuzzy family dramas with a bit of holiday mayhem and always with a happy-ever-after ending.
