One snowstorm. One bookstore. One night that feels like fate.
When a rare December storm sweeps into Tunbridge the night before Christmas Eve, Lila finds herself unexpectedly snowed in at Tolliver’s Books with James, the quiet, surprisingly poetic math professor she met only yesterday.
What follows is a night wrapped in whispered poems, shared cocoa, soft laughter, and the kind of connection that doesn’t flare fast. It glows. Steady. Warm. Certain.
By morning, the town has thawed, but nothing inside Lila or James feels the same. And when he appears on Christmas Day with a crooked hand-made bookmark and a gentle, life-changing invitation, they must decide whether that night was a brief spark… or the beginning of something real.
If you love small-town charm, bookstore magic, soft heroes, snowed-in romance, and holiday stories that feel like stepping straight into a warm Christmas movie, this novella will linger long after the lights come down.
This is a cozy, one-sitting Christmas novella.
Perfect for a quiet night in with a gingerbread latte, your favorite candle, and a blanket you refuse to share.
Genre: Romance
