Angie Tompkins is visiting today with a short Christmas romance for readers who’d like a winter trip to Harbor’s Hope. I’ll let Angie introduce Rena and Darrell.
By Angie Tompkins
How much can change in two nights? Rena Cliffe arrives at Evergreen Tide with her sewing machine and sixteen Christmas stockings to finish. Romance isn’t the assignment. There’s work waiting, and a winter weekend only gives her so much time.
Then Darrell Teague lends a hand.
A Christmas Wish at Harbor’s Hope is a complete, standalone short romance about an unexpected connection by the water. It’s a clean story with a hopeful ending, and you don’t need to read the novels first.
A small project, shared
There’s something inviting about a romance that begins with an ordinary task. Helping someone doesn’t have to be a grand gesture. Sometimes the interesting question is whether two people can make room for each other while the work still needs doing.
It also gives readers a different kind of holiday visit. Christmas stories don’t all need a crowded party or an elaborate celebration. A practical project and a little time together can be enough to make us curious about the people involved.

If your reading time comes in small pockets right now, a complete short romance might fit nicely between longer books.
Would your ideal winter reading break include a busy holiday gathering or a quiet weekend by the water?
