A Heartache for Christmas Novellete.. Pre-Orders Opene Paperback only.

A second-chance holiday romance about love, forgiveness, and the magic that pulls two broken hearts back together.

Claire Monroe swore she’d never return home for Christmas…
not after Joey Carter shattered her heart and disappeared from her life three years ago. But when everything falls apart and she finds herself back in the last place she expected, Claire is forced to face old memories, unresolved feelings, and the man she never truly stopped loving.

Joey knows he made the biggest mistake of his life.
Losing Claire was the regret that has haunted him every day since. Now, seeing her again hits like a punch to the chest. He’ll do anything to fix what he broke—if she’ll let him close enough to try.

But when a sudden winter storm traps their families together in a cozy mountain lodge, both Claire and Joey must confront the past, their lingering chemistry, and the truth they’ve been running from.

But second chances aren’t guaranteed.
Forgiveness comes with a cost. Heartbreak leaves scars.
And love—real love—means choosing to fight for what matters most.

Full of holiday magic, fiery banter, emotional tension, and slow-burn heat, A Heartache for Christmas is a gripping second-chance holiday romance that proves the right love always finds its way home.

Perfect for fans of cozy winter settings, small-town nostalgia, and stories that make your heart ache (and melt) in all the best ways.
