Giancarlo Westbrook isn't supposed to be home this Christmas.
To Felicity James, Giancarlo, a.k.a. her brother's best friend, is the unfinished draft that's never supposed to see the light of day. After one unforgettable kiss in college, which was strictly for educational purposes, they both agreed that memory should be tucked in a locked drawer. So what if they grew up sharing countless late-night dinners from The Golden Lobster, adventures, and whispered secrets under twinkling stars? The line in front of the friend zone is clearly drawn, and it's a line Felicity knows her brother, Clay, would hate for his best friend and sister to cross.
Six years later, they're both back in their hometown of Wedgefield for Christmas. Felicity, now an ornament maker, and Giancarlo, now a well-known muralist, are both at a crossroads in their careers. They're each looking for a distraction-and trying to ignore the spark that never went away-when Felicity uncovers an unexpected mystery from her grandmother's past. And she's determined to solve it. There's just one problem, Clay volunteers Giancarlo to help her. As Felicity and Giancarlo embark on a mission to solve the mystery in time to deliver the Christmas gift of a lifetime to her grandmother, they find themselves caught up in the familiarity and comfort of each other's presence. Maybe some drafts are meant to be finished. Maybe some stories need to be told.
***Meet Me in December is a novella and NOT a full-length novel. It's a heartwarming romance very much like a Hallmark Christmas movie with no explicit scenes.***
