Can Cora and Hayden put their differences aside and save their relationship before the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s Eve?
The Lawyer’s Love
Cora Munson
I’m a simple woman who enjoys simple pleasures: a good book, a cup of tea, and Christmas. Planning the town Christmas festival is a dream come true. If only my other dreams could be realized. Is it too much to ask for a man to fall in love with me and sweep me off my feet? Maybe my friends are right, and I should stop reading fairytales. After all, true love only exists in stories.
Romance in the real world is vastly different. That’s why I escape to my novels where I can live vicariously through the couples I admire all from the comfort of my beloved bookshop. My book boyfriends never disappoint me, and every story has a guaranteed happily ever after. I hold on to hope that one day my own story will mirror the ones I’ve read.
Hayden Fletcher
My parents’ disastrous marriage is proof that not all love stories end happily ever after. It’s why I decided years ago to avoid marriage entirely. I still date, but with no intention of walking down the aisle. Couples can be content without a piece of paper tying them together. And who wants to take vows they know they’ll end up breaking? No thank you. Best to keep the door cracked open so I can flee once the relationship has run its course.
As my father says, it sounds like I’m sabotaging the relationship before it even begins. Pretty sure my therapist agrees with that assessment. I swear that’s not the goal. I’m not against meeting a woman and falling in love and being in a committed relationship. It’s just that love isn’t like in the movies. Not everyone gets a happy ending.
