Rose Gardner Investigations #7.5

A Rose Gardner Christmas novella taking place the December after It All Falls Down

Rose Gardner and her best friend Neely Kate have one wish this Christmas: to celebrate their first holiday season with their babies, surrounded by love and joy. But life, as always, has other plans.

For Rose, sharing custody of her niece and nephew with her brother-in-law Mike's parents proves to be more challenging than she ever imagined. The tension escalates, threatening to overshadow the festive season. Meanwhile, her husband Joe faces a surprise visitor who brings unexpected complications to their already chaotic lives.

Neely Kate, determined to make this Christmas her best yet after years of heartache, is blindsided when Carter Hale, attorney to the former Fenton County crime lord, delivers devastating news. It's a revelation that could unravel not just her perfect Christmas but the life she's built with her husband, Jed.

Told from the perspectives of Rose, Neely Kate, Joe, and James "Skeeter" Malcolm, All I Want for Christmas weaves a story of love, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. Will these beloved characters find their holiday miracles, or will this Christmas become yet another battle to overcome?
