Holiday storie

Amber Halloran has spent years teaching herself how to survive without softness. Once hopeful and open-hearted, she now moves through life cautiously-always bracing for disappointment, always waiting for love to turn into something sharp. The holidays, once her favorite season, have become a quiet reminder of everything she's lost. But just a few weeks before Christmas, everything changes. When Amber moves to the small winter town of Pinebrook, she expects nothing more than a place to disappear and heal. Instead, she meets Charles-a warm, patient, quietly charming man who seems to notice every emotion she tries to hide. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. He simply shows up with kindness, steadiness, and the kind of genuine care she's forgotten how to trust. Slowly, Amber finds herself drawn into the town's holiday traditions: lantern lightings, cookie chaos, Christmas markets, and the overwhelming warmth of Charles's makeshift family. And when a sudden snowstorm forces her to rely on him for the first time, Amber begins to see that not every December is destined to break her. As their gentle friendship shifts into something deeper, Amber must confront the ghosts of her past-the fears that still whisper she's unlovable, the memories that warn her not to risk her heart again. But under soft snowfall, tangled lights, and a sprig of mistletoe that changes everything, Amber learns that healing doesn't have to be lonely. Sometimes love arrives slowly, quietly... And sometimes it feels like coming home. A tender, heartfelt Christmas romance about healing, hope, and the courage to love again. Perfect for fans of cozy small towns, slow-burn chemistry, emotional depth, and winter magic.

❝𝘼𝙉 𝘼𝘿𝙑𝘼𝙉𝙏 𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙉𝘿𝙀𝙍 𝙁𝙄𝘾 - 𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝘾𝙃𝘼𝙋𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙎 𝙀𝘼𝘾𝙃 𝘿𝘼𝙔 𝙐𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙇 𝘾𝙃𝙍𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙈𝘼𝙎❞ Isabella Nguyen and Oscar Piastri grew up side by side on the same quiet Australian street-inseparable, chaotic, and full of wild dreams. At ten years old, on the night before Oscar left for Europe to chase a future in motorsport, they made a pact: when he reached Formula 1, they would meet again on Christmas, no matter what. They sealed it with stuffed animals and a pinky promise. Years passed. Life rewrote their paths. Oscar climbed through the racing ranks with single-minded devotion, carrying the memory of his best friend like a lucky charm. Isabella became a global content creator-filming, editing, posting, hustling-her childhood slowly blurring behind brand deals and deadlines. By Oscar's third F1 season, the promise had evaporated from Isabella's mind... until one night, half-asleep, she stumbled upon a TikTok of Oscar taking a dramatic race win. His smile. His voice. His victory. Suddenly, everything she'd forgotten came crashing back: the pact, the Christmas lights, the goodbye hug that shattered her at ten years old. Except-Oscar never forgot. But the realization hits her too late. The season is already over. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix-the final race she should have gone to, the place their promise was meant to come full circle-has been over for weeks. The paddock is empty now. Oscar has already flown back to Monaco. The moment she was supposed to show up for... she missed it. And now Isabella faces a different mission entirely. She has to find him. Because to him, Isabella Nguyen is everything he remembers. And to her, Oscar Piastri is everything she forgot until now.

What begins as a simple family reunion in Spain quickly turns into an unforgettable journey across the globe. When the Seymour and Sterling families set out to meet in Benidorm, unexpected flight delays, strikes, missed connections, and last-minute reroutings transform their plans into a whirlwind adventure that spans continents and cultures. From towering skyscraper hotels in Hong Kong and Bangkok to night-time views over Chicago's skyline, from temples glowing beside the Chao Phraya River to dizzying sky lobbies and mysterious elevators in the tallest hotels in the world, the families experience travel at its most chaotic-and most magical. Children get lost only to be found, parents test their patience and humor, and siblings form unbreakable bonds while navigating airports, cities, and cultures far from home. At its heart, the novel is a warm, often humorous story about family, resilience, and the strange joy of the unexpected. As the characters quite literally travel around the world-crossing oceans, time zones, and emotional limits-they discover that the true destination is not a place on the map, but the moments shared along the way. Filled with lively dialogue, vivid cityscapes, and heartfelt reunions, this novel celebrates the beauty of travel gone wrong and the happiness that can emerge when everything changes-except love, laughter, and the desire to finally be together.

Years ago, Will Byers vanished-not into another world, but from his own. Fleeing an abusive home, he left behind everything he knew... including Mike Wheeler, the boy who held his heart. Now, Will is a celebrated actor whose face lights up movie screens across the country, but no spotlight is bright enough to chase away the shadows of his past. When tragedy draws him back to Hawkins for the holidays, Will finds himself face-to-face with the life he left unfinished. Old wounds reopen, buried feelings resurface, and the greatest role he's ever had to play might not be on camera-it might be finding the courage to tell Mike the truth: their love story was never over.

He built his business from the ground up, worked tirelessly to create a life of success and independence... and she looked down on it without ever telling him. She laughed about it behind his back, called him her "ATM with legs," and treated his generosity as a given-until the night of the company Christmas party. One careless joke. One overheard conversation. One silent nod, and everything changed. He walked away-not in anger, but with clarity. And while he thrived without her, she was left alone, desperate, and realizing the cost of her shallow choices. A story about respect, integrity, and the high price of taking someone for granted. Sometimes, love and loyalty are more valuable than wealth-and when they're gone, there's no turning back.

When journalist Mia Langford is sent to cover the NorthStar Resort's Christmas Showcase, she expects a simple assignment-not a reunion with her college sweetheart, the one she never quite got over. Roman Rivers never stopped loving Mia, even after life pulled them apart. Between raising his late sister's children and chasing his dream of competing in professional Elvis Trinute Artist competitions, he's kept his heart carefully tucked away. Until Mia walks back into the lodge-still beautiful, still brilliant, and still capable of unraveling him with one smile. But everything shifts the moment Roman asks her to join him onstage for a romantic Christmas duet. Singing with him again awakens something she hasn't felt in years-joy, courage, and a spark of the life she once wanted. As rehearsals draw them closer, Mia finds herself tangled between duty and desire, her editor's demands and her own heart. Roman is building a future for Hazel and Luca... and Mia is terrified she could be the one thing that complicates it. Under mistletoe, glowing lights, and the magic of Elvis's music, Mia and Roman must decide whether this unexpected reunion is only a holiday moment- or the beginning of a forever they never stopped wanting.
