This Holiday, the magic of an Alabama romantic Christmas sparks a season of hope…
It’s been twenty-five long years since Jane Lafitte’s college sweetheart, Trevor Gardner, broke her heart, but life moved on. She never imagined she’d see Trevor again—until their adult children announce their own Christmas engagement—to each other!
Thrown together amidst cozy holiday celebrations, the old flames can’t deny the warm embers that still smolder between them despite the painful memories and practical concerns conspiring against them. Jane and Trevor agree to keep their romantic history a secret, but it gets complicated as they are immersed in planning a wedding between her daughter, Casey, and his son, Drew, in the same town where the two of them planned to marry so long ago.
As Jane and Trevor reconnect, their tangled past resurfaces, making forgiveness the only way forward if they hope to navigate their future as soon-to-be in-laws. But what does it really mean to be family? Can they move beyond their past hurt to discover a new beginning together in time for Christmas?

The timing’s terrible…
Fleeing a life her wealthy father planned—including the groom he picked out—Perth midwife Gabi Hudson heads off grid to the small and charming town of Wirralong in the Outback. She’s hoping for a fresh start and to live a life of purpose while working in a local baby crèche during her friend’s maternity leave. A cute cottage is included, but the hot cowboy setting up an unusual holiday display is a heart-pounding surprise.
Texas Cowboy Cormack Callaghan has been traveling the world working odd jobs until a lucrative hobby changes his fortunes. He loves making metal art in Wirralong, but Cormack’s finally booked his ticket home. He promised his patiently waiting family that he’d finally be home for this Christmas, but then he’s blindsided by the intriguing Gabriella.
