Good Year
Every marriage has its breaking point and Shannon’s was no exception.
Inspired by a true love story.
“I had become an expert at pretending everything was normal. After years of living under the same roof and co-parenting, slipping back into our routine after an argument had become second nature.
Maybe that came from growing up in a home where keeping the peace felt like a responsibility. I had learned to smooth things over, swallow my feelings, and move on as though nothing had happened.
But there was a cost to all that politeness.
If I wasn’t careful, I could spend a lifetime preserving the appearance of normality while quietly sacrificing the possibility of genuine happiness.”
Shannon had a beautiful home in the Atlanta suburbs, two sons, and a husband, John, who had successfully traded his twenty-year military career for civilian life. So why did she feel so lost?
After leaving work to raise her children, Shannon was restless, disconnected from her marriage, and wondering what happened to the woman she used to be.
Then her best friend, Lisa, helped Shannon land a new job and everything changed. What began as a chance to rediscover herself quickly became a turning point.
Shannon was about to learn that finding her joy meant risking everything she thought she knew about love, family, and home.
Christmas Exodus
A fresh, friends-to-lovers romance: Cozy, Lighthearted, Nostalgic, Romantic, Sensual, Hopeful, Reflective, and Emotional.
That’s the reality of being a woman in the military—always surrounded by guys, and they pretty much dominate the conversation.
But Staff Sergeant Wilson was different.
“Standing there in just his brown T-shirt, BDU pants, and boots, I noticed his strong silhouette, the soft moonlight outlining his handsome features. We stood there, both of us laughing and grinning in the cool, crisp night air. It felt easy, comfortable, like time had slowed down for a moment. Talking about books with a fellow soldier wasn’t something I was used to. Movies, sure. Music, of course. But never books.”
Kiera Roberts, a 26-year-old Sergeant in the U.S. Army, was ready to tackle whatever came next. She’d lived overseas, faced challenges, and come out stronger. Fear wasn’t something she carried anymore—if anything, her confidence sometimes bordered on reckless.
Scott Wilson was a 29-year-old single dad who fell for Kiera instantly and invited her to spend Christmas with his family in Helen, Georgia.
Helen is straight out of a dream: sprawling land, horses, warmth, family chaos, laughter. And Scott’s daughter, Dee, who captures Kiera’s heart instantly.
What began as a quiet escape quickly turned into a rollercoaster of adventure, secrets, and a spark of unexpected romance—one that just might change everything she thought she wanted.
