Noelle Nichols thought leaving Saratoga Springs had been survival. But after one canceled flight, one blizzard, and one steady airline captain who refused to let her keep running from grief, home started to look less like the past she feared and more like the future she needed.
There was something profound about returning to your roots, like a tree reaching deep into the earth, drawing strength from the past to grow tall and strong. It could be the best thing for me—a chance to rebuild. This was a place where I didn’t have to be perfect, where people remembered the girl I’d been before life tore me apart. It could be a chance to start over—not somewhere new, but where it all began.
~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 helps her find her way back home. After waking on Christmas morning and believing Captain Kol Vinter has left her, Noelle is forced to confront what Saratoga Springs, her parents’ farm, and her aunt’s inheritance truly mean. Their story blends former military pilot intensity, forced proximity, snowbound holiday romance, small-town Christmas charm, emotional healing, and the kind of love that helps a woman start over where her story first began.
