Maybe This Christmas, It's You: A Friends-to-Lovers Holiday Romance About Secret Feelings and the Courage to Take a Chance

Twelve years of friendship. One month together for Christmas. And a secret that could ruin everything—or change everything.

James has been in love with his best friend Daniel for as long as he can remember. For twelve years, he's watched Daniel date other people, smiled through group gatherings, and convinced himself that staying silent is the only way to keep Daniel in his life. But when Daniel comes home to Denver for a month-long Christmas visit, James realizes he can't survive another holiday pretending he doesn't feel anything.

Daniel is charming, successful, and completely oblivious to the fact that his best friend is in love with him. Or is he? As the two spend more time together—decorating, party planning, and sharing late-night conversations—the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur. But James is terrified of risking everything, and Daniel is hiding his own fears about ruining the one relationship that actually matters.

When a moment of honesty forces them both to confront the truth, they'll have to decide if twelve years of friendship is worth risking for the chance at something real.

A heartfelt, emotional friends-to-lovers romance filled with mutual pining, holiday magic, long-buried feelings, and the courage to finally take a chance. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Abby Jimenez, and Christina Lauren.
