Holidays In Stanford Book 3

A widowed heart. A reclusive writer. One Christmas wish that could change everything.

When heart surgeon Dr. Miles Kennedy moves to sleepy Stanford with his eight-year-old daughter, all he wants is peace—and maybe a little Christmas magic for the little girl who still believes. But when Lily’s heartfelt letter lands in the hands of the town’s secret “Christmas Wish Lady,” their lives are set to collide in ways neither could imagine.

Charlotte “Charlie” Morgan, burned-out journalist turned small-town columnist, hides behind her typewriter and her cat. She’s sworn off men, holidays, and heartbreak—until one little girl’s wish for her father’s happiness leads Charlie straight to the handsome, grieving doctor two doors down.

What begins as a holiday assignment turns into late-night conversations, warm kitchens, and stolen kisses under the mistletoe. But falling for a widower means risking her carefully guarded heart—and trusting that love can heal even the deepest scars.
