A Heartache for Christmas
C.K. Smith, Dina Ezzeddine
not after Joey Carter shattered her heart three Christmases ago… and then started dating her best friend.
But when life falls apart and the holidays come calling, she finds herself back in the last place she expected, surrounded by twinkle lights, old memories, and the man she never really got over.
Joey knows he made the worst mistake of his life.
Janette was a distraction—Claire had been his future. Now, seeing her again hits like a punch to the chest. He wants to fix what he broke… even if she won’t let him near her heart.
A sudden winter storm traps their families together at a cozy mountain lodge, forcing old wounds to thaw. Between late-night fireside confessions, heated arguments, and the chemistry they can’t shake, Claire and Joey find themselves stepping dangerously close to what they once had.
But second chances aren’t guaranteed.
As snow falls and holiday magic settles in, Claire must decide if forgiveness is worth the risk… and Joey must prove he’s done running from the love he never should have lost.
Full of family chaos, sharp banter, and steamy holiday tension,
A Heartache for Christmas is a second-chance romance that proves the right love always finds its way home.
