All I Want for Christmas - eBook
He only has one thing on his Christmas list…
All twelve-year-old Trevor wants for Christmas is to find a family. When the long-time foster kid gets moved to a group home, he writes to Santa as a last resort. But being good is hard, and kids like him don’t get anything from Santa, let alone parents.
All Gary Harris wants is to help the kids at the group home across the street appreciate Christmas. Playing Santa seems easy enough—much simpler than fostering like his wife wants. But from the moment he knocks on their door, nothing about the process is simple, and he begins to wonder if connecting with the kids who always mock his cherished lawn nativity scene will be worth it.
Is a Christmas miracle possible for both Trevor and Gary?
All I Want for Christmas is a heartwarming short Christmas story about finding family, love, and hope set in the world of the Peace Country Romance series. For everyone who loves feel-good happy endings and dreams coming true.

Excerpt:
Dear Santa,
I don’t mean to complain, but I’ve asked you for the same thing every year since I was four. And when you bring me anything, it’s only chocolates and oranges and cheap toys from China. I don’t need another fidget spinner this year, okay?
Anyway, I don’t know where else to turn. I’m twelve now and they just moved me to a group home. No one ever gets adopted from a group home. So you’re basically my last hope.
If I’m really REALLY good this year, would I finally deserve a new set of parents?
Trevor stared at the words. He couldn’t think what to write next. Not that it mattered. Maybe Byron was right—he was a bit babyish. A letter to Santa Claus? Really? What was he, six? He needed to grow up and face the realities of the world. The group home was where kids like him went when no one knew what to do with them anymore. When no foster family would take them in, or there were none left to try.
He lashes out. Can’t make a connection with him. We’ve tried everything. Don’t feel safe. We can’t handle him.
The overheard excuses in the voices of Foster Parents Past rang in his ears.
He folded the paper and stuffed it in his backpack.
