Gift Wrapped By A Boss

Maleah Bell has spent the last year learning how to breathe again. Once engaged, once hopeful, she’s now a first-grade teacher scraping by while quietly drowning in grief after the sudden loss of her fiancé, her daughter’s father. Between lesson plans, overdue bills, and the heavy silence that fills her house at night, Maleah barely has the strength to pretend everything is okay. The holidays, once her favorite season, now feels like a cruel reminder of everything she’s lost.

Navi Brooks has spent the same year trying to outrun his own past. One bad decision nearly landed him in prison, and ever since, he’s been determined to walk the straight line, even if that means shutting out the world. Especially Christmas. The season he hates the most. Haunted by the memories of a childhood where joy skipped his doorstep, and tragedy took its place.

Until Maleah.

When life forces Navi into her classroom for a holiday program, sparks fly…soft, unexpected, and a little dangerous. Maleah doesn’t want to feel anything; Navi doesn’t know how. Yet something about her gentle resilience pulls him in, and something about his quiet protectiveness makes her feel safe for the first time in forever.

When the holidays bring storms, they’ll have to decide, if they temporary comfort in a hard season? Or is this the kind of love that arrives like a miracle, Gift Wrapped By A Boss, delivered right on time?
