Home for Christmas Chapter 2: “Hug, you guys!”

Home for Christmas holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite Christmas stories in my catalog, right alongside Rekindled. This story came to me completely out of the blue. As the holidays were approaching, I wanted to write something that captured all the Christmas vibes while being undeniably heartwarming. The premise? A separated couple brought together by their son, who asks for just one thing for Christmas: to celebrate the holiday with his parents under one roof. From that setup, you already know you’re in for a good time.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Eva Gordon from Home for Christmas and Home Before Midnight

Eva Gordon is one of those characters who feels like a warm hug wrapped in a love story. She’s the definition of grace, balance, and knowing your worth, even when life throws curveballs your way. When I created Eva, I wanted her to represent the kind of love that doesn’t just exist for someone else but also for yourself. She’s deeply relatable, from her bubbly personality to her firm boundaries, and her story is one of resilience, healing, and rediscovering love on her own terms. Eva’s journey in Home for Christmas was a joy to write, and she’s a character that stays with you long after the last page.  

Let’s get to know Eva Gordon more intimately.

Character Q&A: Clarke Ali

We find ourselves in Clarke’s cozy, sunlit apartment in New York City. The faint scent of red wine and the sounds of the bustling city below seep through the windows. Clarke, with her effortless style and sharp wit, has settled into a comfortable chair across from me, a glass of wine in hand. As we settle in, she reflects on her life now with Yusuf, their journey together, and what the future holds.

Clarke, wearing a fitted sweater and high-waisted jeans, grins at me as she takes a sip of her wine. “You’re lucky I’m sipping this wine instead of running after some of the crazy ideas you’re about to throw at me.”

With a warm laugh, I start the conversation.

Rekindled Chapter 6: “What are you doing here?”

Rekindled was honestly a dream come true for me to write, especially as a close proximity romance. In fact, it’s because of Rekindled that I ended up working on another close proximity story—a friends-to-lovers tale that I can’t wait to share with you soon. But back to Rekindled: this story was part of a collaboration I did with a group of amazing women during Christmas 2020. It has one chapter in particular that I absolutely love and looked forward to writing because it’s exactly where the story takes off. It’s the moment when two exes discover they’ll be spending the Christmas holiday together… under the same roof.

Inside the Character: Getting to Know Meki Knight from Unsilent Knight and A Love Deferred

Meki Knight is a reader favorite because he’s far more than what his surface suggests. When we first meet him in Unsilent Knight, Meki comes across as a bit aggy, with little patience for our FMC, Cadence. But as his character unfolds, particularly in A Love Deferred, we discover a deeper, more endearing side of him that’s impossible not to fall for. Meki is a man shaped by his past, someone who seeks love and isn’t afraid to admit it—even if it takes time.  

Let’s get to know Meki more intimately.

Alternate Story Ending: Maven & Kai (Rekindled)

There’s something about Christmas and romance that just hits differently, right? Maven and Kai’s love story started with a cabin, some snow, and a not-so-accidental double booking by their friends. Fast forward, and here they are—married and back in Aspen, but this time in their very own cabin. This alternate ending gives us a glimpse into their first Christmas Eve as husband and wife, full of warmth, laughter, and the kind of love that only grows deeper over time. Let’s catch up with these two and soak in the magic of their forever love.

Chapter 7 Unsilent Knight: “I bet you never had a man make you sweat like this with your clothes still on.”

Unsilent Knight was my very first Christmas-themed short story. But let me tell you, this wasn’t your typical holiday read. It was more of a story that just happened to take place around Christmas rather than being drenched in the hallmark-style, Christmas-y vibes you might expect. And honestly, that’s why I wrote it. Unsilent Knight was meant to be a holiday side treat—a way to promote Girl Code, which was released shortly before Christmas. I even included a sneak peek of the first few chapters from Girl Code in Unsilent Knight. 

So, please know, this story wasn’t supposed to become “the moment.” But somehow, Cadence and Meki stole hearts. Readers fell in love with them, demanding more—and I delivered with A Love Deferred. But before ALD, there was Unsilent Knight and this pivotal chapter that turned what was supposed to be a side story into one readers couldn’t stop talking about.
