Christmas with the (Not-so) Awful Ex-boyfriend
Taylor already has enough on her plate. Between running her family’s business, coordinating the annual Christmas festival, and caring for her recovering mother, she doesn’t have a minute—let alone the emotional energy—to deal with unexpected visitors. So when her college ex-boyfriend shows up on her doorstep after ten silent years, she’s stunned… and definitely not happy.
What’s worse?
Chris isn’t just passing through—he’s her mother’s new physical therapist, and he’s officially moved to their tiny town.
Chris has spent a decade carrying the weight of their breakup, wishing he’d fought harder, said more, or been better. Taylor was the one who got away, and time has only made that truth clearer. So he’s taken the biggest risk of his life: he’s followed his heart straight back to her doorstep, hoping for a second chance he’s not sure he deserves.
But as Christmas fills the town with lights, music, and memories, the past refuses to stay buried. Old wounds ache. Old feelings flare. And Taylor and Chris find themselves caught in the fragile space between who they were and who they might still be to each other.
Healing won’t be easy. Forgiving might be harder.
But love?
Love might just be the Christmas miracle they’ve both been searching for.
