About Falling For Christmas
I move to Charleston expecting a fresh start.
What I do not expect is her.
My new neighbor has enough Christmas lights to be seen from space, a front door wrapped like a giant present, and an endless supply of holiday cheer I want absolutely nothing to do with.
Holly Monroe is everything I am not.
She is sunshine. I am a Grinch.
She is an elementary school teacher who believes Christmas can fix anything. I am an NFL player who has spent years avoiding the holiday altogether.Unfortunately for me, our neighborhood has other plans.
One innocent offer to help out at a community event lands me working side by side with the one woman I can’t seem to avoid. Together, we are in charge of a toy drive that means more to me than she knows, stirring up memories of the grandmother who once made Christmas feel magical before life took that away from me.
The more time I spend with Holly, the harder it becomes to hold onto my cynicism.
She is impossible to resist.
Whether she is bossing me around while decorating my house, dragging me through Christmas markets, or showing me that joy can still exist in the smallest moments, she slowly works her way past every defense I have built.
And before I realize what is happening, the woman I swore I would avoid has become the one person I look forward to seeing every day.
But opening my heart is terrifying.
Because Holly deserves someone who believes in everything she does.
Someone who will not let her down.
When I choose my career over the one thing that is most important to her, I risk losing the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Now I have one chance to prove that maybe Christmas is not about decorations, presents, or impossible expectations.
Maybe it is about finding the person who finally feels like home.
And maybe—just maybe—she is my greatest gift of all.
If you believe in Christmas miracles and heroes who grovel well, this festive romance is for you.
