Holiday at Home by Abby Brooks

He left her on Christmas Eve.
Now he’s back—with a plan that’s anything but merry and a heart that never quite moved on.

Winning back Violet Sterling might be impossible… but that’s never stopped Simon Holiday before.

When he steps into her bakery, he’s hit with a one-two punch—the smell of her family’s legendary cinnamon rolls and the sight of the woman who once meant everything to him. Every feeling he’d tucked away comes rushing back:
the dreams they shared,
the plans they made,
the once-certain belief that his future was intertwined with hers.

But Violet’s eyes aren’t as bright as they used to be.
Her smile doesn’t light up the room the way it once did.
And Simon can tell it isn’t just because he’s come home.

As they reconnect, priorities shift. What was meant to be a few days in Stillwater Bay stretches into weeks as Simon weighs his career against his heart—his past against his future.

He broke Violet’s heart before… at Christmas.
He’s determined not to do it again.

They both see the warning signs flashing red (and green) but sometimes the spirit of the season has a power all its own.

A heart-warming Christmas romance for fans of second chances, stolen kisses, small-town charm, and a hero who falls first.
