Wishing You Well This Christmas: A Sapphic Second-Chance Romance Novella (The Wishing Well)

Some dreams leave bruises that never fade.

Nai has built a life that looks full: a home, children, and a carefully curated public persona followed by millions. But what she hasn’t felt in years is love the way she remembers it. On Christmas Eve, surrounded by warmth and noise, Nai is drawn back into memories of the woman she once loved and the future they never lived. As the night unfolds, she’s forced to confront the truth of what was lost and what may still be waiting beneath the surface. Safi has always known when to leave, slipping away before anything can ask too much of her. So when her date asks her to stay the night, Safi does what she’s always done: she runs. Back to her quiet house. Back to the safety of being alone. But as Christmas Eve unfolds, the past won’t stay gone. And when an unexpected presence appears at her door, Safi faces a choice she’s spent years avoiding. Run again, or stay and risk it all. Again. WISHING YOU WELL THIS CHRISTMAS is an emotionally rich holiday novella about chosen family, yearning, and the versions of ourselves that never entirely let go. Perfect for readers who love light magic elements, second chances, and stories that stay with them long after the last page.

This novella is set in the same universe as The Wishing Well. It can be read on its own, but it’s designed as a prelude to the events of the main story, exploring love, memory, and longing before the paths of its characters cross again.
