Holidays with the Firefighter

A Sweet Small-Town Holiday Romance

By: Stephanie Faris

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Grace Walker left Hope Hollow to chase success. Ten years later, she's back—and falling for the man she left behind.

Grace Walker left Hope Hollow ten years ago with big dreams and never looked back.

Now she's a successful corporate lawyer in Virginia with partnership on the horizon and a carefully constructed life that looks perfect on paper.

There's just one problem. She's miserable.

When her father suffers a serious injury during Christmas tree season, Grace returns home to manage the family farm. It's supposed to be temporary. A few weeks to get him back on his feet, then back to her real life.

But Hope Hollow has other plans.

Derek Blevins never left. He built a life here as an electrician and volunteer firefighter, putting down roots in the town Grace couldn't wait to escape. He's spent ten years trying to forget his high school sweetheart, convinced he was never enough to make her stay.

Then Grace walks back into his life, and suddenly all those carefully constructed walls start crumbling.

Working side by side at the tree farm, they fall into an easy rhythm that feels dangerously like coming home. Grace discovers that the impressive career she built doesn't feel nearly as right as helping customers find the perfect tree. Derek realizes he never actually got over her at all.

But Grace has a life waiting elsewhere. Opportunities most people only dream of. And Derek knows better than to hope she'll choose a small town and a man she left behind over everything she worked so hard to achieve.

This Christmas, Grace will have to decide what success really means. And whether the life that looks perfect is worth more than the one that feels right.
