White Christmas by Cheryl Pierson

Since her divorce, busy ER nurse Carlie Thomas has been only too happy to spend Christmas on duty. This year, however, she's decided to take a much-needed break. What she gets instead is an unexpected houseguest, courtesy of her Uncle Rick.Derek Pierce, a fireman with no family, needs some special care after being injured in a fire. As Christmas approaches, Carlie dicovers that she has more in common with Derek than being alone. But Derek's wounds are more than just skin deep. Will they spend the holidays haunted by the ghosts of the past, or could this Christmas spark a new, beautiful friendship...or even something more?
