This was a lovely, quick Christmas read about a single mother, Vanna, her autistic son, Kitt, and the new neighbor, Truck.
Truck is a nomad member of the Rebel Wayfarers MC, and has bought a house off the beaten path in the Florida panhandle, but finds on his first night there that there is no electricity, no cell phone service so he walks to the neighbors, and sees "Beauty" through the door for the first time. Vanna answers, and she is every bit as taken with Truck with his gray and white beard and hair, and knows the Rebel Wayfarers patch, but keeps that to herself.
Vanna offers Truck aka Peter Teravest, something to eat, and from there they share a dance to some Christmas music, and he sees pictures on her walls that tell Truck that Vanna knows many of the same people he does, and that makes him happy for some reason. Being Christmas Eve, there is an anxious but young adult Kitt waiting for Santa. When he comes down the stairs he actually mistakes truck for Santa, with his long gray and white hair and beard. Kitt calls him Truck Santa when Vanna explains.
Truck is very touched by Vanna and the loving mother she is to Kitt, but feels he has out stayed his welcome already, and that saddens him as he leaves Vanna and Kitt. Not long after he hears Vanna shouting for Kitt, and he races to the nearby creek with its rushing waters that frightens Kitt. Kitt has gone there to get a "treasure" for Truck Santa. Kitt has fallen in the water when the soft bank let go beneath his feet. Vanna is so afraid, and struggles into the water to rescue her son, and Truck rushes to help them both.
It is so very touching how Truck takes care of Vanna after their ordeal in the cold creek. Other members of the MC came to share Christmas with Kitt and Vanna, and were surprised to find Truck there trying to keep Vanna from succumbing to the deathly fingers of the cold water she endured.
Truck, Vanna and Kitt became a family, and Kitt grew into a young man that would have his first chance at living in an apartment on his own. He had plans for their next Christmas that would bring Truck and Vanna Mom to his house for Christmas. This sweet family faced all their challenges together, and made a lovely story based on some of the author's own experiences.
It was a delightful read, and I don't know how I missed this MC, but I plan to read all the other books in this series too!
