Heâs never done forever, and a dozen years ago, he even backed out of his own wedding! But Gus isnât nineteen anymore, and when Mary McLean, the bride he left behind, turns up pregnant, on her own, and as lovely as ever, Gus knows he wants a second chance. He wonât squander it this time.

But Gus isnât giving up. He believes they have a future, that they can have forever. After all, Christmas is a time of hope and new beginnings. But can he convince Mary to give their love another shot?
