The Christmas Edition – Kobo eBook

When Holly Brennan’s marriage ends, she drives from Paducah, Kentucky, to Cameron, Texas, with everything she owns in her car and a new job waiting: editor of the Cameron Star. She falls for the town – the caf, the courthouse square, Friday night football – and the town falls for her right back. Then a national chain buys the Star and guts it, and Holly does the only thing she knows how to do. She builds her own. The Hometown Voice is born in a borrowed back room, broke and stubborn, because small towns deserve news that stays local.

Ben Calloway is Cameron’s veterinarian: quiet, kind, better with animals than with people, and a man who has noticed Holly Brennan since the day she crooked-parked in front of the Bluebonnet Caf. On December 27, a friend stops being subtle and sets them up. What follows is a slow burn in the best sense – coffee, porch-swing repairs, midnight deadlines – two grown people learning to be brave in inches.

Then Holly’s ex-husband comes to Texas to win her back, and Wade Tillman is not a man who hears the word no. A single misunderstood moment drives Ben away, a month of silence follows, and Holly pours everything she has left into a book festival meant to save her paper and put her town on the map. Saving it will take sponsors, lumber, string lights – and the one man who walked away.

The Christmas Edition is a Hallmark-hearted holiday romance with real heat and a happily-ever-after earned the long way: a Christmas Day wedding in the gazebo on the town square, with every soul in Cameron in a folding chair.
