A New Life for Christmas: A Stand-alone Christmas Romance

Tazima Beasley

Tazima runs circles around her opponents in the courtroom. On her game and highly respected, she has locked down her career path and she’s more than ready to make law partner. So, she’s astonished the day her bosses deliver her biggest disappointment. 

 But that is the same day another window opens. A visitor enters Tazima’s office with an offer—to represent a man in prison. Tazima rejects it, because she is not a criminal attorney and that kind of case is far out of her lane. Or is this case the perfect lane that will lead her squarely to where she belongs? A lane of passion, liberation, and fiery love, not just with any prison inmate. But with Odell Jackson.

Odell Jackson

When he was only age fourteen, a family confrontation turned tragic. Odell was arrested, placed in a cop car and never saw his home again. Tried as an adult, he was sentenced to life in prison for manslaughter. Now more than twenty years later, he is approaching the possibility of parole with an advantage most inmates could only dream of. His older sister has high-level connections in the Black Hamptons, and she’s determined to get her brother out with the best legal representation.

But one of Odell’s last memories before his arrest stokes his yearning for a particular attorney.

Can Odell be freed from prison? And can his lawyer, Tazima, also be freed?

In this heartwarming, toasty, snowy, stand-alone Christmas romance, can these two hearts defy the odds and carve out A New Life for Christmas?
