Christmas Surprise

True love . . . delayed.

When Josefina accidentally texts a handsome man from her past, she's embarrassed. When he shows up at the dance hall, she's shocked.

Mateo remembers her. He's always remembered her.

After a few weeks of dating, Mateo wants more than companionship. But navigating a new relationship isn't easy when you have adult children with very strong opinions about whether their mama should be dating — and who she should be dating.

Josefina has built a whole life. She wasn't looking for someone to walk into it.

But Mateo is patient. And patience, it turns out, looks a lot like love.

Christmas Surprise is a sweet, closed-door holiday novella about love finding you later in life — when you're not looking, when your kids have opinions, and when the timing is both completely wrong and somehow exactly right.
