(2026)
A novel by

 
 
A grumpy doctor. A sunshine single mom. One snowstorm, one stocking, and zero chance of escape.

Kay:

I don't have room in my life for a grumpy houseguest who insults my garland, judges my hot chocolate, and somehow still makes my whole coffee shop feel warmer just by walking into it. I've got a shop to save, a daughter to raise, and a heart I stopped handing out years ago. Dr. Nate Harper is leaving in January anyway. So why does one snowstorm, one crackling fire, and one very inconvenient stocking with his name on it have me hoping he doesn't?

Nate:

I came home to survive the holidays and go back to my real life. I did not come home to fall for a single mom who makes cocoa the wrong way and looks at me like I'm worth staying for. Fifteen years, I told myself I didn't need Christmas. One snowed-in night with Kay Miller, and I'm starting to think I just needed her.

A closed-door, grumpy/sunshine, small-town Christmas romcom. Welcome to Cranberry Ridge, where the spirit of Christmas sparks unexpected romances, and bestows the happily-ever-after your heart's been waiting for.
