Mistletoe Messages

Sometimes the best gifts aren’t wrapped—they’re written.

Caya Blaine knows how to show up for everyone else. Making time for her own dreams? That usually comes last. This Christmas, she’s finally investing in herself—and hiring a British editor to help finish the novel she’s almost stopped believing in.

Jude Wintersley is blunt, brilliant, and an ocean away. He’s supposed to help her find the story buried in her manuscript. Instead, he sees the woman who keeps apologizing for wanting more—and gives her every reason to stop.

Through late-night messages, teasing disagreements, and conversations neither wants to end, professional boundaries give way to something neither expected. For once, Caya has someone who listens. Someone who takes her dreams seriously. Someone she doesn’t have to make herself smaller to keep.

But falling for the man on her screen means risking more than an unfinished manuscript. With Christmas approaching, can she trust that the love growing between them will feel just as extraordinary when there’s no ocean left to hide behind?

Set between coastal South Carolina and London, Mistletoe Messages is a heartfelt Christmas romance about being seen, choosing yourself, and finding someone who chooses you, too.
