Happy Wednesday !

So, I know Thanksgiving isn't even here yet, but I am all geared up and ready for Christmas! What Christmas books are on your TBR this season? I'm going to revisit a couple from last year, and then enjoy a few new ones I've been seeing floating around on Instagram.

Writing Update

I've spent the last three weeks listening to Christmas music while writing my first Christmas book and it has been so much fun! I absolutely love these two characters and I hope you do too. I've got a special treat for my newsletter subscribers before I start sharing on social media...

Are you ready to see the cover and meet them?

Sometimes life takes a detour...

Millie Jane Brooks’ dream of stardom falls apart when she can’t catch a break in Nashville. With her tail between her legs, she sulks back home to spend a few days at her best friend’s vacant house before facing the truth—she might not be cut out for a singing career. But Millie Jane isn’t the only one seeking solitude and when her high school enemy crashes her perfectly laid plans of escape, she's faced with more than just her current failures.

Dex Hart is looking forward to a quiet recovery at his step-sister’s house after a season-ending injury halts his hockey career. With questions about his future looming over him, he’s hoping to find clarity over the holidays. But when he gets snowed in with Millie, the girl who got away, old feelings rise to the surface, stealing any chance of rest.

Millie Jane's heart is guarded after Dex’s betrayal years ago, but Dex has missed her sassy remarks and sparkling eyes too much to let the past ruin this second chance at love. Dex is determined to help her see that God might have another plan for her life... and his.

Can Dex break the walls around her heart in time for Christmas?

Or will she shut him out and run away like she did all those years ago?

Keep an eye out for the Pre-Order!
