Once Upon a Holiday Romance
Grieving the death of her brother and recently dumped by her fiancé, Viola now faces returning home for Christmas alone. That is, until Rory, her brother’s best friend, swoops in to rescue her. It'd be perfect if she wasn't battling feelings for him—feelings he rejected once before.
Rory is a guilt-ridden mess, but he vowed to take care of Viola now that her brother’s gone. What he isn't prepared for is that the more time he spends with her, the harder it is to keep his growing desire for her in check. Besides, even if she is interested, she won’t want him once she learns the truth about the night her brother died.
Once Upon a Time is a fairytale concept that Viola and Rory aren’t versed in, but sometimes, it’s up to the main characters to take hold of the pen and write a happy ending for themselves—even if they think they don’t deserve it.

A cute little wrap up to the Chestnut Springs series. I wish this was a longer book but realize it was only a short story. It left me with so many more questions, very sad the series is truly over!
