Strangers on a Christmas Train

Noel Donner has three days to save his family's toymaking business or face laying off twenty-seven employees before Christmas. When a critical investment meeting collapses, he boards a train out of London, desperate for a miracle. The last thing he needs is nine hours trapped beside Yari Ephron, the advertising executive he blames for his failure.
Yari Ephron just quit her job after her boss sabotaged Noel's deal...and now she's racing home to her injured father, thanks to her mother's dramatic phone call. Stuck on a crowded train with the one man who thinks she ruined his future, Yari expects an awkward silence. Instead, they find unexpected common ground: faith, family, and a shared frustration with meddling parents.
But when floods strand them overnight, their forced proximity turns into something neither planned. As they share stories, laughter, and even a kiss under the mistletoe, Noel and Yari begin to wonder: Could this train delay be the best detour of their lives?
A heartwarming Christian romance about trust, divine timing, and love finding you in the most surprising moments. Perfect for fans of:

• holiday train journeys,
• enemies-to-lovers, and
• stories where faith leads the way.
