Kaleo Lakeford

Being down on my luck would be the understatement of the decade. After my now ex-wife’s cheating scandal hit the news, I’ve spent the last year battling against the paparazzi and in the courtroom for custody of my daughter, Cordi. Now with the divorce finalized and my daughter’s hand firmly tucked in mine, we deserve some well-earned rest and relaxation.

After ten years of being away from the small coastal town I grew up in, I couldn’t think of a better place to take Cordi to get away from the cameras for a long holiday break. My mother and I don’t have the greatest relationship, but she loves Cordi and the longer we stay, the happier Cordi gets. Now if my mom and I could learn to have a decent conversation without fighting, and if the guy living in the barn in the backyard will stop wreaking havoc on my poor, mangled heart, then things could almost be perfect.

Kaleo Lakeford was my first love, but for whatever reason, the guy who seemed to like everyone, adamantly never liked me. Even though he left the small town we grew up in right after graduating high school to be a Hollywood star, I never fully got over my unrequited crush on him. However, life has a way of moving along whether you want it to or not.

At 24, I’d lost everything and was living in my car until Kaleo Lakeford’s mom, of all people, found out and took me home. With her help, I was able to put the crumbles of my life back together one piece at a time. Now, nearly ten years later, she’s the closest to family I have.

I haven’t seen Kaleo since we graduated high school, and I know he’s coming home to get away from the paparazzi and to give him and his daughter space to heal after everything they’ve been through. I know it’s more important for him and his daughter to mend fences with his mom before anything else, but I can’t quite get my heart to stop getting its hopes up after not having seen him for so long.

There’s Snow Place Like Home For The Holidays is a multiple 1st person POV winter holidays story about a family healing with holiday traditions and cheer to warm the heart. This story comes with a single dad, a one-sided dislike to friends to lovers, a second chance on first crushes, past misunderstandings, learning to communicate, hurt/comfort, and healing from an emotionally and physically abusive marriage. But it’s also paired with colorful holiday adventures, the joys of a child, along with undeniable chemistry and sizzling heat while learning to love again. A found family, and a reconnected and put back together family.
