Every Bell that Rings (Peace Crossing Book 2) - print book

“Your love was worth the risk.”

“An enjoyable second chance romance with a broken leg, a Secret Santa, a mysterious past and plenty of forgiveness thrown in. Stephanie and Noel clearly belong together.”

In this heartfelt and charming small-town romance, an ER nurse’s bah-humbug ways meet their match when her old crush makes it his mission to restore her Christmas spirit.

The second standalone book in the Peace Crossing series—clean small-town women’s fiction with sweet romance, big heart, and a bit of grit.

Can his Christmas spirit banish her ghosts of Christmas past?

Stephanie Neufeld doesn’t do Christmas. Not the carols, not the cookies, not the aggressive cheer. The holiday only reminds her of everything she’s spent years trying to forget. So when she volunteers for an ER shift during Peace Crossing’s Santa parade, she expects a blessedly quiet night.

She does not expect Noel Butler. Her high school crush. The guy who ghosted her after one date. Now he’s her patient, complete with a broken leg, a personal vendetta against her Grinch energy, and a Secret Santa scheme she wants no part of.

But Noel's stubborn kindness keeps slipping past her defences—and Stephanie’s starting to wonder if her carefully constructed walls are protecting her or just keeping her alone.

This Christmas, the hardest gift to give might be a second chance.
