Title: Closing on Christmas: A Sweet Holiday Romance (Second Glance Second Chance Book 1)
Is a Christmas spark enough to reignite an old flame?
Eve Halliday isn’t feeling festive this year. After years of hard work, she’s made the difficult decision to close her restaurant. And the even more difficult decision to close her heart to Jackson Rimes. He’s had a hard enough year, losing his wife. There’s no way he’s ready for a train-wreck like her in his life.
Firefighter, and father of two, Jackson Rimes is back in his hometown for Christmas. He has a secret he’s keeping from everyone, and a Christmas crush on his high school flame, Eve Halliday.
When the two get schemed into playing Santa and Mrs. Claus at the town’s annual Christmas festival, it could be the perfect time to rekindle what they never had. But when Eve finds out Jackson’s secret, things might be over before they can begin (again).
Short. Sweet. Sometimes funny. And perfect reading for the holidays. Buy it today!
DISCLAIMER: There is one instance of the word “damn.” Frankly, this book was written by Gone with the Wind rules.
–Abigail’s Targeted Tip:
Give your two romance leads equal billing to get readers invested in their relationship.
