The Christmas Gift - The Westport Romantic Mysteries – A Holiday Novella (Book 1.5)

🎄 A first Christmas together.
🎁 A gift that wasn’t meant to be found.
✨ And a quiet kind of magic that lingers.

The Christmas Gift is a holiday novella in The Westport Romantic Mysteries, set between A Sinister Sign and Dangerous Deeds — though it can be read at any time.

Lizzie’s first Christmas with Riley is just around the corner, and she’s determined to make it special. A new home, a fresh start, and a list of traditions waiting to be made — it feels like the beginning of something good.

All that’s left is the perfect Christmas tree.

That’s how Lizzie and Riley find themselves at Happy Christmas Trees, a much-loved local place known for its beautiful evergreens. There, Lizzie meets Earl — a quiet, elderly man who seems to know exactly which tree she’s looking for, even before she does.

The tree is perfect.
But tucked among its branches is something unexpected.

A delicate glass bauble, etched with fine detail, catching the light in a way that feels almost intentional. When Lizzie returns to the shop to ask about it, she discovers something unsettling: no one knows who Earl is. In fact, no one remembers him at all.

As Christmas draws closer, Lizzie can’t shake the feeling that the bauble — and the man who gave it to her — carry a meaning she’s only just beginning to understand.

Sometimes the greatest gifts aren’t meant to be explained.
They’re meant to be felt.
