Neither expected to find love.** In December, retired police officer Hendrix Becker shuts down his quiet RV park on the Oregon coast to disappear from the world.

Josephine Collins, with her young son, has nowhere else to go when danger from her past resurfaces. Against his instincts, Hendrix lets them stay. What begins as a tense arrangement slowly softens as Josephine’s courage and her son’s laughter begin to penetrate the ice around his heart.

And when the threat gets too close, Hendrix must confront his own ghosts if he wants to protect the woman and child who’ve become his reason to believe again. ***Emotional, suspenseful, and full of heart, The Accidental Christmas is a romance about second chances, quiet bravery, and finding hope when you least expect it.** *
