About this ebook
She needs a star for her wartime Christmas show. He needs a second chance. Together they stage a production neither expected.
World War II USO director Maggie Oliver faces an impossible task: orchestrate a Christmas show in San Diego for thousands of sailors, with dwindling resources and a quickly approaching deadline. To star in the show, she enlists Prescott Duke, a former Hollywood heartthrob whose career ended in flames after an accident left him scarred and adrift. He eagerly accepts Maggie's invitation and seizes the chance to reclaim what war has stolen from him.
Inspired by Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and "The Twelve Days of Christmas," Maggie and Prescott craft a show at a Shakespearean theater that promises to lift spirits. But as rehearsals progress, Maggie discovers a secret that could transform her production into something unforgettable. With opening night approaching and unexpected feelings complicating everything, Maggie must decide how far she'll go to rewrite not just her show but the outcome for everyone involved.
A romantic World War II Christmas novella of Hollywood stars and a holiday production. Perfect for fans of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, the opposites-attract trope, redemption, and second chances.

All the love for Twelve Days and Twelfth Night! I absolutely adored this sweet, opposites-attract, clever, WWII, Christmas romance novella from Sarah Sundin. Based on the familiar “Twelve Days of Christmas” & Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, this amazing celebrity romance was filled with humor, warmth, lots of Christmas nostalgia, & poignant messages of hope & faith. I absolutely adored all the references to the famous carol & finding all the Easter Eggs tucked into the story. Highly recommend!
