A runaway dog. A surprise road trip. A Christmas miracle they never saw coming. Leigha Lawrence hasn't been home for Christmas in years, not since her father's passing shattered her holiday spirit. But when her determined mother sends an unexpected chauffeur to bring her home, Leigha and her beloved West Highland White Terrier, Jingle, reluctantly climb into her ex-husband Jude's festive old VW van for a snow-dusted journey toward a season she'd rather avoid.
Things go from awkward to alarming when Jingle bolts in the middle of a picturesque Christmas town. Leigha and Jude are forced to team up to find their beloved dog before he's lost to them forever. Stranded in a cozy inn with only one bed and surrounded by warm-hearted townspeople, they rediscover shared memories of a love they thought they'd lost. As twinkling lights glow and snow begins to fall, Leigha must face the grief she's kept buried and decide whether her heart is ready for the greatest gift of all: a second chance at love.
Full of heart and humor, Jingle All the Way is a sweet second-chance Christmas novella perfect for fans of cozy holiday movies, tender romance, and small-town charm.
