Surviving Christmas: A Sweet Romantic Comedy Novella

Jack Hastings is not looking forward to spending Christmas with his messed-up family. His goal is survival.

But plans change when he wrecks his car, sprains his ankle, and ends up stranded on a Texas ranch. Sofie, who rescued him off the side of the road, is beautiful and engaging, but her teen sister and imposing dad make it hard to spend time alone with her.

And he wants to.

It’s Sofie’s job to make Christmas merry.

Every year, Sofie De Los Santos drives back to the Rocking Double Heart ranch where she grew up and spends the holidays making memories with her dad and sister.

 But when she almost hits a stranded stranger with her car, he becomes part of her very-merry project.

Her dad might not be too keen on her bringing home a random guy. But Jack is quite charming and good-looking. It’s funny to see such a city guy on the ranch, but he meshes well with her family. Even her dad seems to like him, which is a first.

Maybe it’s the magic of the season, the undeniable attraction, or the stolen kisses in the barn, but by the end of the week, she’s head over heels for Jack.

And when they go home, he promises to call, but he doesn’t.

It was silly to think that their spark would survive…
