About this listen
An ode to A Christmas Carol done Heart Falls style (that means with kissing).
The final stand-alone story in the best-selling Holidays in Heart Falls series by New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend.
This rancher wasn’t looking for love—but she’s been right there the entire time.
In their mid-40s when they first met, widow Sonora Fallen and vows-to-stay-single rancher Ashton Stewart both felt a spark but agreed being friends was more important than becoming lovers. For many years, that decision held firm, and other than one time, their grumbly-in-public, friends-in-private arrangement has stuck.
Now 16 years later, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future seem determined to change these friends to lovers to...something else? All of Heart Falls is watching, suspicions on the rise as Sonora and Ashton’s secret slips into view.
Can two people used to standing on their own find a way to admit they want more? Or will stubbornness and fear keep them from forever?

Story
"When a fortune cookie on my birthday said “you will meet a tall, dark stranger”, I had laughed it off, but my mom wasn't so sure. As a powerful witch, she mixes potions like a professional chef, and casts incantations like a poet. And me? My greatest accomplishment is burning a can of soup. A practical witch I am not. So when my dreams begin to piece together an ugly picture, I'm not sure what to do or who to trust. And that tall, dark stranger turns out to be more than just a figment of my imagination. This is more than a simple birthday hex.
