Wrapped Up for Christmas
Katlyn Duncan
Angie Martinelli never thought she’d end up back in her hometown after losing her job, her apartment, and her boyfriend in one terrible week. Now she’s working at the mall information booth, clinging to her pride and trying to figure out her next move. When she proposes a charity gift-wrapping station to raise money for the local homeless shelter, the project reignites the spark she thought she’d lost.
She’s rebuilding her life one ribbon at a time.
Nick Bower manages the local mall with his father, but what once felt like legacy now feels like pressure. Between balancing expectations and a growing sense of loneliness, the last thing he needs is a spirited former city girl with big ideas and a talent for shaking up his carefully ordered world.
He’s spent years keeping it together, until she reminds him what it means to feel.
As deadlines, disagreements, and old wounds threaten the success of the wrapping station, Angie and Nick discover that sometimes the best gifts aren’t found under the tree, they’re the ones that remind you who you are.
Wrapped Up for Christmas is a sweet, small-town women’s fiction novel about fresh starts, community spirit, and the courage to open your heart again. A standalone holiday story perfect for readers who love Hallmark warmth, heartfelt transformation, and love stories that shine as brightly as Christmas lights.
