Kisses in Prague

By: Ruby Hill

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

At Prague's snowy Christmas market, I discover something I never knew I was missing.

My research trip has a clear purpose: two weeks exploring my late father's Czech heritage, then back to Boston, where my publisher and next deadline await.

The Christmas market is just another stop on my carefully planned itinerary.

But when I meet the brooding glassblower who creates flawless ornaments and has little time for curious Americans, my orderly world begins to shift.

Jakub believes in precision and profit. I chase stories and magic.

He crafts what customers expect. I seek what the heart craves.

We're opposites in every way.

Yet when circumstances force us to work together on folklore-inspired glass ornaments, I glimpse the dreamer he's hidden behind years of responsibility. And he starts to understand that some traditions are worth preserving, not just selling.

With Christmas drawing near and my departure date approaching, I must choose: return to the comfortable life I know, or risk everything for a connection that feels like coming home to a heritage I'd lost and a love I never expected to find.
