Story
We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy.

Summary
Veterinarian Pete Harding doesn't date single moms.
After showing up to a blind date to find he left before she arrived, Keira is reminded why she doesn't date. She had true love once, but a tragic accident ripped him from her and their son, who is now four and only wants a puppy for Christmas this year.
Although off limits since she is a single mom, Pete determines to help Keira find the perfect puppy for her son. Keira wonders about Pete. He says he doesn't date women with children, yet she can't help but notice he behaves like a man who has more on mind than finding a puppy.
Will love break down Pete's walls and bring more than a puppy for Christmas?
A Christmas Surprise was originally published in 2013 as The Christmas Promise.
