For Claire, Christmas has always been about survival. She only wanted to keep life steady for her daughter Emma after heartbreak and loss. Moving to a quiet snowy town was meant to be a fresh start, not the beginning of something new for her heart. Jack, a widowed single father, has built his world around his children. He has hidden his own longing for love beneath duty and routine. But when Claire and Emma step into his life, the walls he carefully built begin to melt away like snow under the winter sun. As festive lights glow and snow falls gently around them, Claire and Jack discover laughter, warmth, and the kind of connection they never thought they would feel again. Their children bond, their hearts open, and slowly, a friendship begins to grow into something far deeper. But love after loss is never simple. Can Claire trust her heart again. Can Jack embrace the future instead of living in the past. This Christmas, two families are given a second chance to heal, to hope, and to find themselves forever in each other's arms. Christmas in Your Arms is a heartwarming holiday romance filled with tender moments, snowy nights, and the magic of love that feels like coming home.

CHRISTMAS IN YOUR ARMS Chapter 1 A CHANCE ENCOUNTER

Snowflakes drifted lazily down onto the little town of Evergreen, painting rooftops white and making every street lamp glow like something out of a postcard. The Christmas season was in full swing, wreaths on every door, twinkling lights strung across Main Street, and the smell of roasted chestnuts filling the air.

Claire Bennett pulled her scarf tighter around her neck as she guided her eight year old daughter, Emma, through the crowded Christmas tree lot. Emma bounced with excitement, her mittened hand clutched tightly in Claire's.

"Mom, look! That one is perfect!" Emma pointed at a tall spruce, its branches heavy with snow.

Claire laughed. "Honey, that tree is twice the size of our living room."

Emma scrunched up her nose, thinking. "Okay, maybe not that one. But we will find ours, right?"

Claire smiled, her heart warming. "Yes, sweetheart. We will find the perfect one."

Just as Emma darted toward a smaller tree, she collided with another child, a boy about ten years old, wearing a red knit hat. Both kids stumbled back, giggling.

"Sorry!" the boy said quickly.

"No worries," Emma replied, brushing snow off her coat. "I like your hat."

The boy grinned. "Thanks. I am Noah."

Claire hurried forward, about to apologize to the boy's parent, when she noticed a tall man jogging over. He had dark hair dusted with snow, a strong jawline softened by the kindest eyes she had ever seen.

"Hey, buddy, careful," the man said, resting a hand on the boy's shoulder. Then he looked at Claire. "Sorry about that. Noah does not always watch where he is going."

Claire shook her head, a little flustered. "It is okay. Emma was just as distracted. Christmas trees have that effect."

The man chuckled, and for a moment, their eyes held. There was something about him, something steady, something safe.

"I am Jack," he said finally, extending a gloved hand.

"Claire," she replied, shaking it. His hand was warm, even through the gloves.

Emma tugged on her sleeve. "Mom, can Noah help us pick a tree?"

Jack raised a brow, amused. "Sounds like an invitation."

Claire hesitated, but when she saw Emma and Noah already darting between rows of evergreens, laughter echoing, she could not help but smile.

"Why not?" she said softly.

And just like that, under falling snow and Christmas lights, two families, both a little broken in their own ways, began to weave their story together.
