An Opposites-Attract Holiday Love Story (Hollow Bridge Book Three)
A Christmas festival. A romantic dreamer. And a lawyer convinced happily ever after doesn't exist.
Bookshop owner Cora Munson pours her heart into planning Hollow Bridge's Christmas festival, finding comfort in twinkle lights, classic novels, and the promise of happily-ever-afters she reads but has never lived. Yet her deepest wish?a love that sweeps her off her feet?remains just out of reach. Hayden Fletcher's steady presence complicates that longing, awakening feelings she thought belonged only to fictional heroines.
Attorney Hayden Fletcher has built his life around caution, convinced that marriage only leads to disappointment. He keeps relationships light, expectations low, and emotional exits within reach. Cora's sincerity disrupts that rhythm. Her joy, her kindness, and her belief in lasting love challenge everything he's sworn to avoid. With each moment, Hayden begins to question whether love might be more than a risk?and whether Cora might be worth rewriting his rules.
A cozy, Christian closed-door holiday romance where a bookshop dreamer and a cautious attorney discover hope, healing, and a love worth choosing.
