Today’s the day 🎄

Addy, Kevin, and little Zion finally step into the world — and I’m so excited to welcome you into this Beacon Security Christmas story.

When Hope Began is officially live!

This story came to me as a spark,  a quiet ache wrapped in holiday lights, and it refused to let go. Addy has carried so much in the shadows, and Kevin has been her anchor more times than he knows. But when a frightened little boy appears at Beacon Security’s doorstep with secrets tied to Addy’s past, everything she thought was buried finds its way back to the surface.

Here’s the blurb:

The holidays are supposed to bring peace, but for Addy, Christmas delivers a ghost from the past.

When a frightened little boy appears at Beacon Security’s doorstep with a story too chilling to ignore, Kevin and Mac never expected Addy to be at the center of the unfolding mystery. But when Addy meets young Zion, something about him strikes a chord buried deep in her memories…memories of a life left behind, and a best friend she thought she’d never see again.

As whispers of diplomatic intrigue and long-buried secrets surface, Addy is pulled into a dangerous tangle that forces her to confront the pain of her past and the choices that shaped her future. With Kevin by her side and Beacon’s team backing them, Addy must face a truth that could change everything this Christmas.

In the season of giving, will the past steal her peace or offer a second chance she never saw coming?

Thank you for loving these characters as much as I do. This short story is emotional, a little intense, and filled with the kind of hope that only Beacon Security can deliver during the holiday season.
