Wishing On You: A Sweet Single Mom Holiday Romance
She’s protecting her heart. He’s always been the steady one. This Christmas, a single wish might change everything.
Hannah Colton didn’t expect to be back in Juniper Falls, let alone raising her ten-year-old son alone. Running her small glassblowing studio keeps her busy, but it doesn’t erase the sting of her ex-husband’s doubts or the fear of trusting her heart again. When she’s asked to create ornaments for the town’s new Wishing Tree, she agrees… even if it means working alongside the one man she never quite forgot.
Jake Merrick has spent his life building things. Homes, businesses, and a reputation as the town’s most dependable contractor. But when Hannah walks back into his life, he realizes there’s one thing he’s never a future with the woman who once slipped away. Helping with the Wishing Tree project—and bonding with her son, Silas—feels like the start of something real.
But just as Hannah starts to believe in second chances, her ex returns for the holidays, threatening the fragile trust growing between them. Can Hannah risk her heart on the man she wished for all along, or will old doubts shatter the promise of new love?

Sweet
The sweet story about a woman who wanted to be valued and treasured for who she was and not for who who people thought she could be or thought she wanted. I enjoyed Silas such a sweet child who desperately wants the love and attentional of a father
