Rugged Pilot's Christmas Romance
(2026)(The ninth book in the Snowfall Small Town Romance series)
A novel by Emily Crescent
Sometimes home is the horizon you almost flew past—
and the one you can’t stop coming back to.
He left. She stayed.
Snowfall held its breath while their lives split in two.
Now he returns with jet-fuel in his hair and regret weighing down every step.
She stands behind the bakery counter, flour on her knuckles, keeping the whole town fed with sweetness she never lets herself taste.
Their hands meet over a sack of flour.
A thumb brushes a scar.
A near-kiss hangs above warm shortbread—soft, shaking, impossible to ignore.
Everything in them wants to stay.
But an investor arrives.
Shipments stall.
The bakery wavers on the edge of collapse.
He offers a plan, not promises.
He’ll trade long-haul routes for regional runs.
He’ll risk rank and pay to be here… to be with her.
Then he kneels in the snow—chipped ornament, tiny ring, heart in his hands.
She says yes.
The town erupts.
And then his phone buzzes.
A roster change.
A crisis that hits like a blizzard.
The clock is merciless.
This is heat and honesty.
Second chances with heavy stakes.
Love fighting the rigid math of schedules, shipments, and sacrifice.
Read it. Feel it. Stay for the storm.
