'Tis the season for second chances…and secrets!
Forget the mistletoe maneuvers. Kelly Rasmussen
isn't planning on having that reunion kiss with Dr. Caleb Buchanan any time

Except for that one night six years ago—which resulted in an explosive secret

them—counting Kelly's son. Because there's something about that little boy… For
