The December Do-Over

All he wants for Christmas is to leave. The universe has other plans.

Dominic Crane is the Shark of Wall Street. Ruthless, efficient, and unsentimental, he has spent fifteen years running from his small-town past. Now, he's back in Hollybridge for exactly twenty-four hours to handle one final transaction: selling his late grandmother's cottage to a developer so he can secure his dream promotion in Manhattan.

His plan is simple: Sign the papers. Ignore the memories. Get out before the snow sticks.

But when Dominic wakes up the next morning, he isn't in his penthouse. He's back in his grandmother's guest room. His phone reads December 24th. And the deal he just closed hasn't happened yet.

Trapped in a festive nightmare of aggressive carolers, spilled cocoa, and a town that refuses to let him leave, Dominic is forced to relive Christmas Eve over and over. His only anchor in the storm is Mia Varma—the childhood best friend he abandoned fifteen years ago, and the only person who makes the frozen time feel worth living.

As the loops blur together, Dominic discovers that the "deal of a lifetime" might actually be the mistake of a lifetime. To break the spell and reach Christmas morning, the man who thinks he can buy anything must learn the one lesson no contract can teach: how to stop running and start living.

Groundhog Day meets a Hallmark Christmas in this heartwarming, laugh-out-loud romance about second chances, small-town magic, and finding a moment worth staying in.
