Polar Bear Plunge

Brice Taylor might not be on Aleni Callan's Christmas list, but she finds him under her tree anyway. Nurse Aleni Callan's anger toward God is fueled when Brice Taylor enters her life. Not only does Brice have no regard for his own life—as evidenced by the concussion and hypothermia he suffers after participating in the Polar Bear Plunge—he escaped the war in Afghanistan and lived to tell his story in a bestselling book, while her precious husband was killed. But little does Aleni know that God's will can be orchestrated in all kinds of ways--sometimes through a meddling but loveable mother-in-law who conspires with Brice and Aleni's son, Tyler, to force her from a lonely, bitter life.
