December was never meant to change her life.For Amara Collins, the holidays are supposed to be quiet, predictable, and emotionally distant, just like the walls she has carefully built around her heart. Successful, independent, and emotionally guarded, she believes love is beautiful, but temporary, and never worth losing yourself over.Then she meets Ethan Hale.Ethan is everything Amara is not, warm, intentional, emotionally present, and dangerously patient. A man who listens, who sees beyond her independence into the fears she hides beneath it. What begins as an unexpected connection during the festive season slowly unfolds into something deeper, intense conversations, lingering touches, late night confessions, and desires neither of them planned for.As Christmas lights glow and the year draws to an end, Amara is forced to confront a painful question,Is she brave enough to choose love, even if it means risking heartbreak?“Wrapped in December” is a sensual, emotionally rich holiday romance that explores love, vulnerability, desire, and the fear of being truly seen. It is a story about opening your heart when the world feels warm, the nights feel longer, and love feels dangerously close.
