Noelle Nichols had spent years trying to control the pieces of her life that kept falling apart. But snowbound with Captain Kol Vinter, trapped between a blizzard outside and a fire burning too hot inside, trust became its own kind of risk—and Mr. Captain was starting to feel worth the fall.
And so I waited in silence for him to make the next move. It was a calculated risk, placing my trust in him, but after everything we’d shared today, this was just another step along the path we were now on together. And as uncomfortable as it was to let go, to relinquish control, something deep inside told me it was worth it to see where this journey with Mr. Captain might ultimately lead.
~Noelle Nichols, Christmas Cancellation
About this Noelle Nichols quote
This Noelle Nichols quote comes from Christmas Cancellation by Evie James, a standalone holiday pilot romance about a stranded passenger, a canceled flight, and the airline captain who becomes far more than her ride home. Snowbound in Saratoga Springs with Captain Kol Vinter, Noelle begins to understand that letting go with him isn’t weakness—it’s trust. Their story blends airline captain heat, former military pilot intensity, forced proximity, one bed tension, snowbound holiday romance, small-town Christmas charm, emotional healing, and a Christmas Eve connection that changes the course of both their lives.
