Christmas Chances
READING AGE 18+
Holly Bennett has always believed in the magic of Christmas. From the twinkling lights in her small-town bakery to the romance novels stacked by her bedside, the season is her favorite time of year. But after catching her fiancé tangled in betrayal with her best friend, Holly has sworn off love—at least the kind that exists outside the pages of her books.
When her employees drag her to their “company Christmas party,” Holly braces herself for awkward small talk and forced cheer. Instead, she walks straight into humiliation: her ex and former best friend are there, determined to make her the punchline of the night.
Just when Holly thinks the evening can’t get worse, a mysterious stranger steps in. Strong, steady, and protective, he’s a soldier with shadows in his past—and a spark in his eyes that makes Holly’s guarded heart skip a beat.
As snow falls and Christmas magic weaves its way through town, Holly must decide if she’s ready to take a chance on love again. Because sometimes, the greatest gifts come wrapped in second chances.

The world had changed, but the heart of the farm never had.
