A Maplebridge Christmas: A Novella

De: Avery Lennox

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A heartwarming small-town holiday romance about second chances, healing, and finding home where you least expect it.

Mara Bennett swore she’d never move back to Maplebridge. After burning out in Vancouver and watching her big-city career crumble, she’s home for the holidays—just until the new year. But her quick visit turns complicated when her mother volunteers her to co-chair the town’s beloved Christmas Parade… alongside the one man determined to keep her at arm’s length.

Dean Cooper has spent the last two years avoiding the holidays—and the memories that come with them. The loss of his brother still lingers in every carol, every snowfall, every empty December morning. But when Mara storms into his workshop with big ideas, stubborn optimism, and cocoa in hand, Dean finds himself drawn to the very thing he’s been trying to forget: hope.

As snow blankets the streets and the town rallies to save the parade, Mara and Dean work side by side—stringing lights, rebuilding floats, and rediscovering the joy of a season they both thought they’d lost. And when the first kiss comes under the glow of the Christmas tree, they’ll have to decide if love is worth rewriting their plans for.

Because sometimes the greatest gift isn’t a second chance at success—it’s a second chance at home.
