    About this ebook

    A blizzard the night before Christmas Eve.
    A handsome stranger in need of a ride.
    A lonely girl with nowhere to go.
    It’s sounds like the beginning of one of those Hallmark movies I used to watch over the holidays with my mom. Except those movies always have a happy ending, and mine... probably won’t. My storybook life collapsed five years ago, and now, I’m just trying to stay one step ahead of my past.
    It’s exhausting. And lonely.
    I’m sick of running.
    I’m sick of hiding.
    So when my grateful passenger offers me a quaint place to wait out the storm and the chance to experience a real Christmas again, I accept. Because who am I to turn down a gift from fate?

      A Gift from Fate

      ONE

      The roads are slick with a fresh layer of snow. According to the forecast, this is just the beginning. Most of my co-workers and classmates have voiced their concerns, dreading this storm. It’s nothing more than an inconvenience for their holiday trips home, but it’s been years since I’ve had snow on Christmas. Five years to be exact. Not since my last Christmas with my parents.

      I have the next two days off and I’m going to enjoy every second of this gorgeous weather—even if I’ll be spending it by myself.

      Memories flash like lightening. My brother’s gap-toothed smile as he pounced on my bed with the excitement of a kid who still believed in Santa Claus, shaking me awake so we could rip into our presents. Mom curled into the corner of the couch sipping her mug of coffee while she watched us take in the sight of gifts under a glowing tree. Dad wrapped in his robe, laughing at us as we fought over which is better to receive—large or small packages. I preferred small. My brother always dove straight for the biggest ones. A small chuckle slips from my lips now with the reminiscence and moisture blurs my vision.

      I miss them.

      Every day.

      It’s late in the evening when I pull into my complex parking lot. The snow crunches under the thin Keds I wear for work. They were
