Just One December is a heartfelt and emotional contemporary romance novel that captures the magic, complexity, and unexpected turns that life takes when two people find each other against the backdrop of the most cherished season of the year. Written by Lilly C., this novel explores the themes of love, personal growth, forgiveness, and the profound impact of the holiday season on both relationships and self-discovery. With rich emotional depth, unforgettable characters, and a setting that celebrates the warmth of December, Just One December is a beautifully crafted story of healing and transformation.

The novel begins with Sarah, a woman who feels like she's lived most of her life on the sidelines. Struggling with unresolved grief and the scars of a broken past, she finds herself at a crossroads in life during the month of December—a time that's supposed to bring joy, but instead feels like a stark reminder of all that she has lost. With the holiday season only days away, Sarah feels more disconnected than ever, emotionally numb and unsure of where she belongs in a world that seems to have moved on without her.

Enter Liam, a man who, like Sarah, has been through his own share of heartache. A successful, yet emotionally distant businessman, Liam has spent years hiding his vulnerability behind his work and his outward success. He's not one to embrace the cheer of the holiday season, much less the idea of opening his heart to anyone. However, when he unexpectedly meets Sarah during a chance encounter, something shifts within him. He recognizes that she's carrying a weight that mirrors his own, and despite his initial reluctance, he feels compelled to reach out and offer her a sense of comfort that she hasn't experienced in a long time.

At the heart of Just One December is the relationship that slowly blossoms between Sarah and Liam, two individuals from different worlds, each struggling with their own personal battles. Their first meeting is far from magical, yet the connection they share feels undeniable. They start with small exchanges, fleeting moments of vulnerability that both comfort and challenge them. There's a quiet tension in the air every time they meet, as they both try to navigate the fragile space between them, unsure of where they stand, but undeniably drawn to one another.

As Sarah and Liam spend more time together, their bond deepens, and both are forced to confront their pasts—painful memories, long-held regrets, and the walls they've built around themselves. What begins as a tentative friendship evolves into something much more complicated. As they share their stories, they realize that they are not so different after all. They both carry deep wounds, and through each other, they begin to heal in ways they never thought possible.

Set against the backdrop of December, Just One December captures the essence of the holiday season as both a time of reflection and transformation. The cold winter air, the twinkling lights, and the spirit of the season serve as a contrast to the internal warmth Sarah and Liam begin to discover in each other. December becomes not just a backdrop for their budding relationship, but also a symbol of hope and renewal. As they share more moments together—whether it's walking through the snowy streets or sitting by a cozy fire—Sarah and Liam both come to understand that love is not just about finding someone to fill the empty spaces in their lives, but about healing the wounds within themselves first.

While Just One December is a romance at its core, it is much more than that. It's a story about finding love in unexpected places, about second chances, and about...
