The Christmas Matchmaker

A Sweet Second Chance Amish Holiday Romance

By: Shel Mabel

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Naomi Miller is twenty-six, unmarried, and very tired of being everyone’s favorite example of “there’s still time, dear.”

She’s resigned herself to a life of caring for her parents and sewing quilts in their small Amish community—until her sharp-eyed Großmamm decides she’s waited long enough. With Christmas approaching, Großmamm quietly hatches a plan: twenty-five days of “accidental” pairings between Naomi and her widowed neighbor, Levi King.

Firewood deliveries that mysteriously require two people. Choir benches rearranged so Naomi and Levi sit side by side. A charity booth at the Christmas market they are somehow volunteered to run together. A rigged gift exchange. A sleigh ride no one remembers signing up for. Every day of Advent brings a new excuse for Naomi and Levi to share chores, laughter, and a life that starts to feel suspiciously like courtship.

Naomi refuses to be anyone’s pity project, no matter how kind Levi’s eyes are or how safe she feels in his quiet company. Levi, still carrying love for his late wife, is convinced one great love is all a man should ask for. Großmamm’s schemes may be outrageous, but the feelings they stir up are painfully real.

When Naomi overhears a conversation that makes her believe she’s nothing more than a problem to be solved, the fragile trust between her and Levi shatters. It will take honesty, humility, and one final Christmas miracle for them to admit what their meddling matchmaker saw from the start: that two lonely hearts can find a second chance at love—without erasing the past.

The Christmas Matchmaker is a standalone novel in the Amish Hearts series—a sweet second chance Amish holiday romance full of family meddling, cozy winter scenes, handmade gifts, and a heartfelt Christmas happily-ever-after.
