He came to Cannon Beach to escape Christmas. She came seeking safety. Neither expected to find love.
In December, retired police officer Hendrix Becker shuts down his quiet RV park on the Oregon coast to disappear from the world. Haunted by a tragic Christmas past, solitude has become his only refuge.
But this year, someone stays behind.
Josephine Collins, with her young son, has nowhere else to go when danger from her past resurfaces.
Against his instincts, Hendrix lets them stay. What begins as a tense arrangement slowly softens as Josephine’s courage and her son’s laughter begin to penetrate the ice around his heart. As trust builds, so does something deeper—something neither of them expected.
But Josephine's past isn't done with her yet. And when the threat gets too close, Hendrix must confront his own ghosts if he wants to protect the woman and child who’ve become his reason to believe again.
Emotional, suspenseful, and full of heart, The Accidental Christmas is a romance about second chances, quiet bravery, and finding hope when you least expect it.

Between the pages of The Accidental Christmas readers will meet a ex-cop who has sworn off Christmas and anything festive that goes along with it, and a young mother desperate to keep her son safe from the dangerous life they fled.
Usually when the month of December rolls around Hendrix Becker closes down his RV park and avoids any and all interactions with others, for fear of having to experience anything Christmasy. But this year not everyone wants to leave the park, Joey and her young son need to stay in the park, it's the only place they have to live. So, he reluctantly lets them stay, not realizing this one gesture is about to change all of their lives in ways they never could have predicted... and I absolutely love watching it all unfold.
The Accidental Christmas is a beautiful story of healing, friendship, trust, second chances, and finding love where you least expect it. If you like Christmas reads that give the heartstrings a nice little tug than you have to read this story, it's well penned words will touch your heart!
