Home For Christmas
Christmas was always her mother's favorite time of year. For Samantha, it used to mean carols in the kitchen, snow angels in the yard, and laughter that filled every corner of their home. But since her mother's death, December has only felt colder, lonelier, emptier. This year, with just two weeks until the big Christmas Eve Dinner, Samantha is determined to survive the season without falling apart. Then Aiden, her best friend, the boy she's secretly falling for, and the boyfriend of her frenemy Angela, starts slipping past her defenses. Between late-night moments, holiday mishaps, and the kind of smiles that melt winter, she begins to wonder if she's ready to feel alive again. But grief doesn't vanish with fairy lights. And when secrets unravel, Samantha will have to face the truth: she can't keep one foot in the past and the other chasing a future. Heartfelt, romantic, and full of holiday magic, this is a story about love, friendship, and learning to shine again when the person who lit your world is gone.Complete
