Christmas in Oak Bluff
(2026)(The fourth book in the Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff series)
A novel by Miranda Liasson
A cynical heart, a hopeless romantic, and a holiday surprise that changes everything.
I’ve never believed in fairy tales. When your childhood is purely about survival, you learn early on that romance is just a biological drive—not a happily ever after.
But eight years ago, college brought me Shana, my absolute best friend. Through her, I found the McShannigans: a warm, chaotic, wonderful family who took me in and showed me what real love looks like. For the first time in my life, Christmas became magical. I owe them everything, and I would protect my bond with them at all costs.
Which meant keeping my hands off Shana’s brother.
Derek is a six-foot-two, blue-eyed problem. He’s rugged, charismatic, and a hopeless romantic determined to find the kind of legacy love his parents share. And for reasons I can't understand, he has set his sights on me.
For years, I fought the pull. But this past November, I finally gave in to the undeniable attraction between us. Terrified of ruining the only family I've ever known, I panicked, called it off, and left Derek angry and hurt.
Now, Christmas is here, and I'm heading back to the McShannigans’ festive home with a heavy secret. One unforgettable night left me with a tiny, unexpected miracle.
As the snow falls and the holiday magic takes over, I have to make a choice: keep hiding behind my independent walls or risk my heart to finally believe in the fairy tale.
