Kept for Christmas

(2025)
(The second book in the Maple Ridge Collection series)
A Story by Brianna Rusler

Emery Rhodes returns to Maple Ridge expecting grief, but the last person she expects to face is Noah Beckett—the first boy she ever loved and the one she walked away from. Now he’s older and living a life she never let herself imagine. Grief softens their defenses. Familiar sparks burn hotter than either of them planned. A sudden snowstorm traps them under the same roof, pushing old feelings dangerously close to the surface. As Christmas settles over the small town they once shared, Emery begins to wonder if the future she ran from might be the one she wants most.

This is an interconnected Christmas novella. It is highly recommended for the series to be read together. Be sure to continue this story by reading Yours for Christmas by Emily Klepp and Home for Christmas by Elsa Wilde & Jade Katzchen.
