Novella / Short Story | Holiday | Romance Contemporary

Culinary arts student, Hope Mastriano, is down on her luck. Homeless on Thanksgiving Day, she’s caught trying to break into her cousin’s apartment by her sexy boss and lifelong secret crush. Since getting dumped seven months ago, head chef Vinnie DiFrancesco has been in a frustrating holding pattern. He returns relaxed from a retreat, but his life is sent into a tailspin when he offers Hope, the event coordinator at his family’s trattoria, temporary housing. With the trattoria’s traditional Italian Christmas Eve charity dinner slated to be featured on a local TV segment and things heating up in his apartment, the two must set aside their different visions to make the event a success. When a computer glitch threatens their plans, Hope proposes a risky solution. Vinnie must believe in Hope and his heart in order to secure the future of the restaurant and make it a Christmas to remember.

Before my Grandparents passed away, I always looked
forward to going to their house on Christmas Eve. My
grandmother, who must have spent days baking, would let
us fill a tin with our favorite treats. Then we would
exchange gifts and play games. Those were wonderful
times, and I'm fortunate to have had my grandparents in
my life for so many years.
