She thought she was over him—until he married someone else. But this Christmas, love might be waiting where she least expects it.
Mary Alice Reed is done with heartbreak. After a quiet breakup turned very public when her ex proposed to his best friend just weeks later, she's determined to move on with grace—and maybe a little extra eggnog. Organizing Wishful's beloved holiday charity is the perfect distraction. No romance. No drama. No problem.
Until Dr. Chad Phillips volunteers to help.
Chad is new in town, steady under pressure, and far too perceptive for comfort. As they work side by side to bring Christmas magic to local kids, Mary Alice finds herself opening up in ways she never expected. He's kind. He listens. And the more time she spends with him, the harder it is to keep her heart on lockdown.
But starting over isn't easy when everyone remembers the ending. And taking a chance on something real? That just might be the bravest thing she's ever done.
A cozy, hopeful holiday romance about fresh starts, found joy, and the quiet magic of being truly seen. The Christmas Fountain is everything you want in a Christmas story—charm, cheer, and a love that sneaks up on you.
