The Christmas He Left Behind: A Fresh-Start Christmas Romance
She made everyone else's Christmas beautiful. This year, her husband canceled hers.
Maren knows how to turn an ordinary room into somewhere people want to stay. But after sixteen years of marriage, she can barely stand the silence in her own house.
Christmas is coming. The bills are piling up. And the holiday decorating jobs she was counting on have been quietly canceled by the husband who walked away.
So when a neighbor asks her to stage one last Christmas gathering in a beloved Vermont home, Maren says yes, and names her full price.
The job also brings her into the company of Hollis Mercer, the furniture maker across the street.
Hollis makes beautiful furniture and terrible coffee. He notices her work, remembers what she says, and makes her laugh when she has almost forgotten how. Soon, the hardest part of their afternoons together is finding a reason to leave.
Maren wants to trust what is growing between them. She also knows how much it hurts to build a life around someone who might go.
And Hollis has a future of his own.
As December 23 draws closer, Maren must find the courage to ask for what she wants, even if the answer could break her heart.
A heartfelt Christmas romance full of gentle humor, grown-up longing and the unexpected warmth of falling in love when starting over was never the plan.
Some love stories begin when everything else ends.
