Genre: Sweet Small-Town Contemporary Romance Christmas novella (spiritual thread)

What if true love is only a text away?

Mila Maxwell is happy with her life in New York City. Her boyfriend Zane is perfect for her – and yes perfect means he offers her the stability she’s always wanted. Zane’s also not threatened by the endless text thread she keeps with her best friend, Ben Kendrick. Why should he be? They’re friends, nothing more.

Christmas is coming – a holiday she’d much rather skip – and Mila’s the maid-of-honor for her college roommate’s December wedding. When disaster strikes the wedding coordinator, Mila rushes to Colorado to save Angie’s big day and plunges headfirst into all the marital falalala.

As Mila works the details for Angie and Charles’ wedding, Ben steps up to help. After all, he’s the best man and someone in his life should have a happily ever after. This may be Ben’s last chance to convince Mila that they were meant for more than long texts and short video chats.

Mila must confront her fears about love and choose: Zane, who offers her the security she’s always longed for, or Ben, who has never given up on her. What if her true love has always been one text away?

Excerpt

Unlike some people, New York City didn’t bypass Thanksgiving and move right to Christmas. Even after living in Manhattan for three years, Mila—like many other New Yorkers—still loved the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, now less than two weeks away. And no, Santa’s appearance at the end wasn’t her favorite part. Mila would ignore hints of the upcoming fa la la la la and enjoy time with Zane.

“That bag isn’t too heavy for you?” Mila nudged her boyfriend’s shoulder as they maneuvered through the crowd on Fifth Avenue. Ever considerate, Zane adjusted his pace to accommodate her much shorter stride. While her three-inch heels compensated for her five-foot-nothing frame, there were some things she couldn’t overcome.

Zane shifted the yellow bag with the red LEGO trademark and took Mila’s hand. “I can manage just fine.”

“The real question is, how many hours will you need to put that vintage PAC-MAN Arcade together?”

“You want to help me?” Zane’s brown eyes registered surprise.

“That’s not a serious invitation. You get too much satisfaction out of completing a model all by yourself.”

“Maybe I’ll slip a LEGO set into your stocking. Something small for you to start on.”

“Already thinking about Christmas shopping?”

“Never too early, right?”

Mila sidestepped a trio of teen girls who talked and texted as they walked. “Agreed.”

Because it was easier to agree than talk about what she really thought about Christmas.
