Holiday Hearts Unwrapped

The Holiday Matchmaker Short Romance Series, Book 1

By: C.K. Darling

Narrated by: Andi Eloise, Ryan Lee Dunlap

Christmas cookies, mistletoe kisses, and the friend zone—some traditions are meant to be broken.

Dalton Grant is expecting this holiday season will be a quiet one—until his childhood best friend Savannah crashes back into town needing a fake boyfriend for the Christmas Hearts Festival. Dalton would do anything for Savvy, even risk the one thing that matters most: their friendship.

When the town's self-appointed matchmaker signs them up for every romantic holiday activity—cookie contests, couples caroling, mistletoe challenges—fake kisses start feeling dangerously real. Suddenly, Dalton's questioning everything about their thirty-year friendship, especially when he discovers Savvy's been hiding feelings for him all along.

The problem? He's already broken her heart twice by choosing friendship over something more. Now, as Christmas magic weaves through their small Georgia town, Dalton realizes he's been blind to what's been right in front of him. But convincing Savvy to trust him with her heart again when he's the one who shattered it?

That might take a Christmas miracle.
