A Second Shot at Christmas

2026

Hers for the Holidays

BETWEEN THE COVERS

The story

Emilia Ayala has enough trouble managing a pub in Winterbrook without revisiting an old relationship. The building’s failing furnace, the demands of holiday traditions and her much-loved regulars keep her occupied. Then Meghan Knox walks through the door. Emilia has not seen her former girlfriend since graduation, but Meghan’s return is deliberate: she wants another chance at the connection they lost. For Emilia, familiarity does not remove the fear of being hurt again. Their reunion brings unfinished feelings into a season already crowded with responsibilities and expectations. This Christmas romance follows two women confronting the distance between remembering a relationship and finding the courage to try building it again.
