Emma's Christmas Secret
(2025)(The third book in the Christmas in Birchdale series)
A Story by Ruby Hill
Some Christmas magic is worth the risk. Even when it means falling for the one man who could ruin everything.
Working with Sebastian Howard on the school Christmas pageant should be simple. He handles logistics, and I handle creativity. But the widowed sheriff's rigid schedules clash with my artistic chaos, and our late-night planning sessions are creating sparks that have nothing to do with paint fumes.
His nine-year-old daughter, Nina, breaks my heart with her quiet Christmas sadness. I know what it's like to feel forgotten during the holidays, so I decide to do something about it. Small acts of kindness. Anonymous gifts. A little Christmas magic for a girl who needs it.
The problem? Sebastian's cop instincts are sharper than I anticipated. He's growing suspicious of everyone around his daughter—including me. And while I'm falling for this protective single dad, he's investigating the very kindness that brought us together.
Now I'm caught between my growing feelings and my secret mission, trying to give Nina the Christmas she deserves, while hiding the truth from the man I'm starting to love.
