Poppy's Second Chance Christmas. Alden Brothers K-9, #0.5

Poppy Alden has made a career out of avoiding both her hometown and the romantic disasters it reminds her of. But when she's summoned back for her aunt's annual "show up or be disowned" Christmas celebration, she finds herself knee-deep in holiday madness, five overgrown cousin-brothers with too much testosterone, and one very surprising blast from fate: Mason Delaney, the ridiculously charming guy who keeps accidentally stealing her coffee and her heart.
As the snow falls and the holiday chaos ramps up, Poppy stumbles straight into family secrets, mistletoe mishaps, and a bombshell announcement that sends the entire Alden clan spiraling. But somewhere between the candlelit confessions and the farm's Christmas magic, Poppy might just discover something she didn't know she was missing: a second chance at joy. and maybe even love. A cozy, romantic holiday novella that introduces the world of the Alden Brothers K9 Series, full of sweetness, laughter, dogs, found family, and the kind of Christmas spirit that sneaks right into your heart.
