Serving up love, one scoop at a time…
All she wanted was a Christmas miracle.
As a struggling single mother in a new town, her budget is stretched thin, and her heart is stretched thinner. Standing at a local charity bazaar, her only goal is to find a few unused gifts so her son has something special under the tree on Christmas morning.
Then she sees it: an antique silver gravy ladle.
It seems like an absurd luxury for a woman with no family to share a holiday meal with. But the moment her fingers touch the cool silver, tears fill her eyes and a sudden, irresistible ZING hits her right in the chest.
She thinks she’s just taking home a piece of hollowware she’ll never have a reason to use.
She has no idea she’s holding a lost WWII super soldier.
Separated from his unit for eighty years, he was trapped in stasis, waiting in the dark. He doesn't know his brothers are out there. He only knows that the emotional warmth, selfless heart, and tears of a lonely mother just shattered his stasis and set him free.
Now she has a secret local superhero protecting her small town, warming up her kitchen, and bringing a whole new meaning to holiday cheer.
Can a selfless mom open her heart to a hero from the past?
How do you explain to your son that the hot new guy in the house used to live in a cutlery box?
And when Christmas dinner is served, and you realize you’ve forgotten to purchase something to serve the gravy . . . could you ask a super soldier to turn back into a ladle?
Just this once?
Cautionary Warning: The festive warmth in this novella is hot enough to melt butter. Please do not attempt to seek emotional validation from your holiday serving utensils, nor should you expect your silverware to fight crime in your neighborhood. I accept no liability for gravy burns, misplaced hollowware, or unexpected holiday transformations. Ladle responsibly.
LADLED is a complete, standalone holiday novella with an HEA, but takes place in the wild and beloved Utensil Romance universe!
