She just might be the miracle this soldier deserves. But can she fulfill her dreams without losing the guarded military man who’s captured her heart? 
 
Emilie Fielding longs for love — and to own her own business someday. Despite fears that she’s wasting time waiting for her prince to come while working for her Scrooge-like boss, the optimistic barista tackles Christmas preparations for the coffee shop with unbridled holiday joy. And when she stumbles hanging mistletoe, she surprises herself as well as her handsome rescuer with a merry peck on his cheek, right before he’s cajoled into lending her a hand. 
 
Garrett Banks yearns to belong. Learning to live with lingering injuries and struggling with feelings of vulnerability, the Marine discovers a humorous group of senior busybodies and the vibrant young woman who catches his attention while visiting a treasured small town. Tasked with helping to check off her yuletide to-do list, his honed defenses and well-constructed walls begin to crumble. 
 
Even though Emilie’s innate connection with him deepens, she wrestles with the growing need to leave her beloved home to secure her future. And while Garrett hopes to stay by her side, he fears the only way forward is to let her go. 
 
Do they have the courage this Christmas to unwrap the gift of forever?  
 
A Hero's Christmas Kiss is the charming eighth book in the Green Hills romance series and part of the Military Kisses Sweet Romance multi-author project. If you like swoon-worthy characters, fairytale towns that help people heal, and a cozy cup of holiday cheer, then you’ll adore Virginia'dele Smith’s jolly read.

EXCERPT:

“How about some breakfast to go with the coffee today?” She was pleased to hear she sounded as though she had full control over her faculties, even if her heart raced, hoping he’d say yes.

“That’d be nice,” he answered. “Anything’ll be great.”

That was it? Anything?

“Oh. Uh, okay. I’ll be right back,” she told him before dashing into the kitchen.

While Emilie managed the coffee shop for Mr. Moody, overseeing operations while working the counter and serving food, Byron Watts ruled the kitchen. A romantic at heart who loved to wax poetic and philosophize about the meaning of life, his mastery and fierce ownership over the grill, the prep station, the cooktop, the ovens, the freezer, the fridge, and all the ingredients found in any of those locations had earned him the nickname Lord Byron.

“Why are you in here?” he demanded the moment Emilie cleared the swing door.

“I need breakfast,” she answered, a deer in headlights.

“So write the order on the notepad, tear off the top sheet, and attach it to the order wheel…from your side of that wall.” Byron pointed at the wall behind Emilie with a metal spatula and an unwavering eye.

“But there’s no order,” she marveled.

“Then there’s no breakfast,” he countered.

“I want it all,” she stated.

“Excuse me?” he asked.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right?” Emilie mused, pacing between the dining room wall and the prep island, distracted but still coherent enough not to walk any further into the room. “And he looks like he could use a good meal.”

“Who?” Byron’s unwavering gaze switched to a questioning one.

“Him.”

“Him who?” he tried again.

“The man.”

“The man,” Byron repeated.

“Yes.”

“And what did the man order?”

“He didn’t.”

“Emilie,” Byron growled.

She responded with a wide-eyed look of innocence.

“What did the man say?” Byron tried again.

 “Anything’ll be great,” she quoted.

“Anything?”

“Anything,” Emilie confirmed with one firm nod. “And so, we’ll give him everything.”
