One Christmas by Karine Saint Jacques

What a difference One Christmas makes…
All Irene wants is to have a peaceful celebration with family and the new man in her life at her annual Christmas Eve dinner. But the appearance of her arrogant ex-husband, Dean, dashes her hopes as he seeks a second chance.
Meanwhile, Irene’s adult children, Anthony, Gloria, and Jake, as well as her nephew, Christopher, are all caught in their own webs of romance and heartache.
Anthony yearns to warm the lonely heart of Ava, a barista in his mother’s coffee shop. Only she’s completely sworn off romance.
