The 12th Date

Twelve magical dates. One unforgettable holiday.

In Snow Bridge, New York — a city where fairytale characters live, work, and occasionally match with you on dating apps — Jane Norwell has always felt like the ordinary one. A big-hearted musical theater teacher with a talent for putting everyone else first, she’s spent years stuck in a going-nowhere relationship with her high school sweetheart.

This December, everything changes.

After finally leaving her longtime partner, Jane agrees to start dating again. What she doesn’t expect is a series of magical encounters — a parade of charming, chaotic, and utterly unforgettable suitors who pull her into a season she never saw coming.

When her students are invited to perform in the annual holiday benefit show at North Pole Palace, Jane meets Nikolas, a warm, magnetic man with a legacy as powerful as the Christmas magic surrounding him. Her quiet December soon becomes a journey of new possibilities, unexpected courage, and the kind of warmth she thought she’d lost.

The 12th Date is a whimsical, heart-lifting holiday romance about rediscovering hope, embracing new beginnings, and finding love in the most unexpected places.

Note to Readers:
The 12th Date is a fast-paced holiday romantasy featuring instant chemistry rather than a slow-burn relationship. This story follows the main character through multiple romantic connections alongside themes of self-discovery, healing, and new beginnings before the final pairing. This is a sweet romance with no spice.

“…the genuine and vibrant Christmas cheer that suffuses this book goes down as smoothly as hot cocoa and will satisfy fans of holiday romance.” — Kirkus Reviews
