Christmas Papa (Holiday Babies #5)
Mona Risk

Living for three years in her stepmother's respectable house helps Monica forget the horror of her youth and reform her wild streak, and even dream of a normal life, similar to her stepsisters', with a loving husband and children. Geez, she's pretty enough to attract any man she wants, but to keep him is a different ballgame. The moment a serious boyfriend learns of her past or meets her adorable twins, he feels the urge to move two-thousand miles away, like Jake Carlton, a doctor who works in Alaska and is dating Monica long distance.
Until Michael kisses her...
Michael Wheeler is a playboy who hates commitment. He's successful and his job requires a lot of travel. Fed up with the men around her, Monica moves forward with her life, putting her children and education before anything else.
Can Michael convince her that having a career doesn't preclude love?
