Santa's Sweetheart

The holiday setting adds such warmth, but I wonder how much of that was planned versus evolved during writing. Did the festive atmosphere influence the pacing of the romance?

The story feels like more than a Christmas romance — it touches on second chances and new beginnings. How did the author weave those themes into the festive backdrop?

The holiday setting really amplifies the emotional stakes, but I’m curious whether the author was inspired by personal holiday memories or wanted to evoke a specific festive mood.
