Holiday magic
Healing from heartbreak

Sadie McCluskey used to love the holidaysâuntil a tragic car accident took her parents and her ex-husband walked out a week before Christmas. Now, she spends her Decembers tending her urban farm, far from holiday cheer. That is, until Hank Dabrowski and his kindergarten class show up for a field trip. Suddenly, Sadieâs wondering if Christmas might still have a little magic left, especially when she catches herself dreaming of getting Hank under the mistletoe.
After a decade as a Navy SEAL, Hank is ready for a quieter life. He moves to Snowside to teach kindergarten, determined to start fresh after breaking off his engagement. Burned but hopeful, he still believes in true love. When he sees Sadie lighting up his studentsâ faces on her farm, it stirs something deep inside himâbut can he convince her heâs the Christmas gift she didnât know she needed?
Enter Jody and Nick Claws: a plaid-loving, twinkle-eyed duo who might just be the real Santa and Mrs. Claus. With their not-so-subtle nudging, will Hank and Sadie discover that sometimes loveâand Christmas miraclesâare right under your nose?

For over thirty years, Iâve stood behind the lens of a camera, capturing the heart of agricultureâwading through cow pastures, rice paddies, and sprawling orchards. As a photojournalist specializing in agriculture, Iâve told stories rooted in the land, its people, and their passion.
Now, I channel that same storytelling spirit into deeply emotional, small-town contemporary romance. My novels weave themes of love, community, and sometimes, the agricultural threads that have shaped my own journey. Some of you may remember me as Kate Curran, but these days, all my books are published under my name, Kathy Coatney.
In addition to romance, I write the nonfiction childrenâs series From the Farm to the Table and Dadâs Girls, celebrating the connection between farm life and the food we enjoy.
When Iâm not writing, youâll likely find me mountain biking, cross-country skiing, strength training, or out for a jogâthough tortoise pace might be a more accurate description!
