He went undercover to find himself. She gave up everything to keep her daughter safe. Neither expected Christmas to change their lives forever. When Alex Sterling, heir to a restaurant empire, discovered his fiancée in the arms of his best friend, his world fell apart. The pain never truly left—he just learned to hide it behind long work hours and boardroom deals. But when his father realizes Alex has forgotten what life is really about, he sends him on an unexpected challenge: one quiet winter working undercover in a small-town diner in Colorado—no fortune, no name, no shortcuts. Trading skyscrapers for snowy streets, Alex becomes Alex Miller, the newest hire at the Havenwood Diner, where the scent of cinnamon rolls drifts through the air and kindness is served with every cup of coffee. That’s where he meets Grace Holloway—a single mom doing everything she can to give her daughter a safe, joyful life. When her husband walked away, she found herself back in her mother’s home, the vibrant future she’d imagined as an artist fading like a watercolor in the rain. Needing a steady anchor for her and her daughter, she found one at the Diner. It was a simple choice—one she’d make again in a heartbeat to ensure her daughter always felt secure and loved.
Grace isn’t looking for love—her heart has already paid the price. But when the quiet new employee with warm green eyes begins to see the colors she’s hidden from the world, Grace starts to wonder if maybe it’s time to believe again—in herself, in love, and in Christmas miracles. As snow falls over Havenwood and laughter fills the diner, Alex learns that success means nothing without heart. And Grace discovers that sometimes, love paints the brightest picture of all. Christmas at the Havenwood Diner is a heartwarming small-town holiday romance about second chances, forgiveness, and rediscovering the beauty of everyday dreams. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Sherryl Woods, and anyone who believes in the cozy magic of Christmas love stories. Grab a blanket, pour a cup of cocoa, and let Havenwood remind you that the best gifts can’t be wrapped—they’re found where love and hope meet. $0.99 on Kindle.
