Some Christmases don't sparkle—they shatter.
It's Christmas Eve. Lyndsey should be enjoying the holiday, basking in the glow of twinkle lights on the tree—not police sirens and bruises blooming across her skin. When her ex-con husband is hauled away in handcuffs and a too-handsome patrol officer won’t quite let the case go, the holiday becomes a turning point she never saw coming.
Months later, with snow falling in a new city and a fresh life within reach, Lyndsey is sure she’s finally outrun her past. But Christmas has a way of bringing everything back to your doorstep—especially the secrets you thought were buried for good.
Home for Christmasis a short read—a dark, twisty holiday short story about second chances, bad choices, and how far someone will go to rewrite their own ending.
