Christmas and the Hero: Modern Christmas Fairy Tales
by Lexi Ostrow
Hank “Hero” Costas was revered by his coworkers at his father’s company, Olympus Security, for how many lives he’d saved. Hank’s father barely looked twice at him. The big man with all the power barely looked twice at his son. His day was consumed with efforts to please and book clients. Christmas time was always the worst, but Hank thought this year he might just get it right.
Megan Gramble landed herself a job at Brimstone Sec after a tour in Iraq went terribly wrong after falling for her commanding officer. She didn’t hate the work, but the clientele always seemed sleazy. When the owners newest scheme involved seducing a rival company’s son to gain their clients, she didn’t blink twice thanks to hefty raise. Megan also didn’t mind fabricating a “save me” situation to get the ball rolling.
Hank couldn’t take his eyes off Megan after saving her from a runaway car. As Christmas neared, the pair grew closer and closer, until a lightening strike fried his phone and he used Megan’s to make a call. When he saw the truth, he left, furious at Megan and himself. The only problem? It wasn’t just a job for Megan anymore. It would take a Christmas miracle for both to look beyond their jobs and see what’s truly important, each other .
One dashing hero. One lonely heroine and one bolt of thunder collide just in time for Christmas.
Christmas and the Hero will be published on December 10th 2020.
