Christmas Music: Southern Heroes, #0.5

By Quinn Marlowe

A girl with a broken heart. A guy with a broken family. And a Christmas dream that will bring them together.


Olivia Johns has tried the real world, and failed. She had the record contract… and a boyfriend who stole that contract, along with her music.

Now she's heading home for Christmas, escaping the real world and trying to get her feet under her.
______

Connor Wheating knows a thing or two about having his feet knocked out from under him. He was on the verge of getting signed to his first record contract when his dad was diagnosed with cancer.

Now he finds himself home for the holidays… and missing the future he was polishing for himself.

But Christmas doesn't only bring snow and holly. In Arberry, North Carolina, it also brings the Annual Music Festival. The competition: fierce. The reward: a shiny new record contract with one of the biggest labels in the industry.

When Olivia and Connor find themselves in an unwilling partnership, working together—and against each other—for the same prize, the chemistry between them growing by the minute…

Christmas wishes might actually come true.

Two lost souls looking for a way out. A Christmas music contest. And an unwilling partnership that leaves them both longing for something more.

Christmas Music is a sweet small-town Christmas novella that features cowboys, hopeless romance, and a heroine willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, and is the prequel to the Southern Heroes series.
