Hoping For Snow (Jake Madden)
Haven never expected to start receiving gifts twelve days before Christmas. They seemed to appear out of nowhere right when she needed them most. She wanted to figure out who was sending her these gifts, but the notes left with them didn't give anything away. Still, she went along with it because who didn't like free gifts? She couldn't pass up on the opportunity to get everything she ever wanted to make her life a little brighter as the dreadful Christmas season approached.
She couldn't say that she was excited for Christmas because she was excited. But there was a deep sense of dread in her heart the closer it came to Christmas, and she didn't exactly know why. Maybe it was for the memories that she didn't want to bring up about the anniversary. Or maybe it was because her sister couldn't stay quiet for one second about celebrating Christmas with their new best friends and neighbors, the Maddens. Either way, Haven had mixed feelings about the upcoming holidays, and her sister's cheery exterior was finally starting to get on her nerves.
It seemed like that the person giving her very personal gifts understood what was going on in her head. It was like they could see into the darkest depths of her soul. Haven was pleasantly surprised that this person knew so much about her, knew what her heart truly wanted, and she wanted to thank them for the good they were doing to her. But how could she when she had no idea who was doing it?
The thing was, Jake Madden was acting strange around her. She didn't think it could be him, but there was a small part of her that wished it was him. Ever since he moved into the house next door, she couldn't help but develop a little crush on him.
When things come to a head, will Haven be able to figure out who is giving her the gifts? Or will she be too late to figure it out? In the twelve days leading up to Christmas, Haven will have choices that will affect her life and her happiness forever.
