Snow-Kissed Redemption: A Christmas Story of Forgiveness, Second Chances, and Love Reborn

By Arabella G. Hamilton

Some debts can only be repaid with the heart.

Seven years ago, Rachel Morrow committed the unthinkable-she embezzled $47,000 from the small-town church that embraced her after her husband's death. Consumed by shame, she fled Pine Ridge, Montana in the dead of night, leaving behind criminal charges and a congregation shattered by betrayal.

Now she's returned with a cashier's check and a plan: slip the money anonymously into the church's donation box, attend Christmas Eve service from the shadows, and disappear before anyone recognizes the woman she used to be. She's spent seven years rebuilding her life and her faith. She doesn't expect-or deserve-forgiveness. Restitution will have to be enough.

But when a blizzard strands her at the church's community center, Rachel's carefully constructed disguise begins to crumble. Among those snowed in with her is Caleb Brennan-Pine Ridge's new church treasurer, financial advisor, and the most frustratingly principled man Rachel has ever met. He's everything she's not: trusted, respected, rooted in community. What Rachel doesn't know is that Caleb's father was the treasurer who discovered her theft-and the stress of the scandal contributed to his death.

As three days of enforced proximity peel back layers of pretense, an impossible attraction grows between them. But secrets have a way of surfacing, especially in small towns. When the truth emerges, both Rachel and Caleb must confront what forgiveness really means. Can a thief and the son of the man she hurt find grace enough for second chances? Or will the weight of the past bury any hope for a future?

In the season of miracles, two wounded hearts will discover that God's grace is sufficient-and that some Christmas gifts come wrapped in snowstorms.

A heartwarming Christian romance about radical forgiveness, the courage to face your past, and the transformative power of love rooted in faith. Perfect for readers who believe in second chances and the hope of new beginnings.
