Christmas Exodus
It’s the tail end of 1999, and Sgt. Kiera Roberts has just returned from Thanksgiving with her parents in sunny San Diego. Big news awaited her: they’re selling the house and moving to Hawaii. Back in the barracks at Fort Gordon, Georgia, Kiera is sharing a room with her best friend and juggling a steady relationship with fellow NCO, Sgt. Alan Kearney. Life in uniform isn’t terrible—but it’s not exactly lighting her up, either.
The holidays arrive at a life-altering crossroads. Should she re-enlist and commit to a military career? Cash in her GI Bill and chase a college degree? Or accept Alan’s unexpected proposal and build a new kind of life with him?
​
Before she can answer any of that, duty calls: her Signal unit is ordered into the field for a winter training exercise. On day one, disaster strikes—a soldier is accidentally electrocuted. Kiera, trained as a combat lifesaver, jumps into action. That’s when she meets Staff Sergeant Scott Wilson.
​
With her future hanging in the balance and doubts clouding every choice, an unexpected holiday invitation offers the perfect escape. What starts as a simple getaway soon spirals into a whirlwind of adventure, unexpected twists—and a flicker of romance that might just change everything. In the most unlikely place, Kiera begins to find the clarity her heart’s been craving.

This friends-to-lovers / coworkers-to-lovers festive romance explores women’s role in the military, the power of friendship, and the value of knowing yourself.
