The Grumpy Doctor's Christmas Healing

A Clean and Wholesome Holiday Romance

De: Melanie Oakley

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

He ghosted her three years ago. She's about to make him work for it.

Dr. Ethan Rivera made a terrible mistake: he fell for Grace Thornton, panicked, and ran. Now he's an exhausted workaholic actively avoiding the art therapist whose smile still haunts him.

Grace? Over it. (Mostly.) (Okay, not even a little.)

Then the hospital assigns them to work together. Daily. For three weeks. During Christmas.

Ethan's strategy: Grovel. Apologize. Don't stare at her like a lovesick puppy. (Failing spectacularly at #3.)

Grace's strategy: Professional boundaries. Emotional walls. Absolutely DO NOT remember how good his hugs were.

But forced proximity is a dangerous thing. He brings her coffee (her exact order, which he remembers). She "accidentally" makes him laugh. And when he shows up with therapy dogs in elf costumes as a peace offering, her walls don't stand a chance.

The problem? Grace isn't settling for pretty words. She wants therapy receipts, actual emotional growth, and proof he won't bolt again.

Good thing Ethan's done running. Now he just has to prove it.

Second-chance romance with groveling, Christmas cookies, and a hero who's finally figured it out.
