Caro Carson - The Majors' Holiday Hideaway

Swapping houses for Christmas vacation

Brought a gift she never imagined

While Fort Hood, Texas, isn’t exactly the City of Lights, Major India Woods discovers its hottest attraction—Major Aidan Nord—lives right next door! And they happily enjoy a little no-strings mischief under the mistletoe. Until India discovers Aidan is seeing other women—his adorable twin girls, that is! After a lifetime of globe-trotting, India wonders if this little family could be her biggest adventure.

Despite a no-nonsense background as a West Point graduate, army officer and Fortune 100 sales executive, CARO CARSON has always treasured the happily-ever-after of a good romance novel. As a RITA® Award-winning Mills & Boon author, Caro is delighted to be living her own happily-ever-after with her husband and two chil-dren in Florida, a location that has saved the coaster-loving theme-park fanatic a fortune on plane tickets.

This story about a family is dedicated to my family.

Many military families must spend some holidays

apart. I know I’m very lucky to have never spent a

Christmas apart from Richard, Katie and William.

May all your Christmases be bright.
