Christmas in Brooks

"Heartwarming and hard to put down." - Romance Times on Kalan Chapman Lloyd's Loser's Road "A winning contemporary romance... a gently affecting tale of personal redemption, second chances, and the power of faith." - Kirkus Book Review on Kalan Chapman Lloyd's Loser's Road After the death of his parents, his childhood home at Christmas is the last place former NFL star and hometown hero Quint Jackson wants to be. But when the powers that be rope him into being the celebrity Grand Marshall of the kick-off to Christmas season, the state famous parade, he finds himself back in the one place he swore he'd never return. Since being named Executive Director of her hometown's Downtown Association, Sadie Stetson has spent the last year planning and color-coding the perfect small town Christmas: the parade, the Christmas cookie stroll, the tree lighting and toy drive and breakfast with Santa. She's got it all under control, headset and all, until Quint Jackson shows up with all his brooding charm and grumpy refusal to embrace the magic of Brooks at Christmastime. Even worse, Quint and Sadie's brother just so happen to hate each other. Some old football grudge that they've both been nursing for years. As Quint is pushed by the zany townfolks (including an all-too-real Mrs. Claus) into Sadie's carefully curated world to make this years' Christmas in Brooks the best one yet, sparks fly underneath the tinsel decorations on the streetlights of the bricked streets of Brooks. As sleigh bells ring and snowflakes fall, they'll have to decide if this Christmas is about what's lost... or what's beginning. Full of warmth, wit and holiday charm, this clean Christmas romance will make you believe in second chances and the magic of coming home for Christmas. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Jenny Hale!

Sometimes grace wears glitter and God works in mysterious pliés... When a ballerina with a broken plan, a widowed small-town lawyer, and his mischievous daughter collide in Brooks, Oklahoma, the result is equal parts cocoa, chaos, and Christmas grace. After a career-ending injury, Ava Holland inherits a crumbling dance studio from a stranger and ends up in a town that smells like cinnamon rolls and second chances. She was determined to fix it up, teach a few pliés, and move on-no roots, no romance, no problem. Except, years later, she's still there. August "Auggie" Hemingway is just trying to keep life upright: his law office, his faith, and his pint-sized whirlwind Maple, who gets into trouble everywhere except Miss Ava's studio. When he's roped into the town's Nutcracker production, Auggie finds himself tripping over tulle, tutus, and feelings he thought he'd buried for good. Between tangled lights, nosy neighbors, and runaway farm animals, Ava and Auggie discover the same quiet truth: we were never meant to be enough on our own. Because sometimes, God fills our empty spaces with the people-and the love-we didn't know we were missing. A sweet, faith-filled small-town Christmas rom-com about second chances, found family, and the kind of love that dances straight into your heart. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Courtney Walsh, and Jenny Hale!
