A little reading time with Cassie: Episode 2, A Simple Christmas Kiss by Cassandra Shiels. Chapter 1

This is a reading by the author of one of her teachers at Alvin High books. Lacey is the art teacher at the High school, and this is her sweet romance story. A mistletoe kiss was never supposed to mean anything… but this one did. Lacey is an Alvin High art teacher who keeps her life quiet and steady—until a guarded single dad in her building starts disrupting both. Rhett is rebuilding after a painful divorce, focused only on raising his daughter, Holly, and keeping his world closed off. When Lacey helps him through a childcare crisis, it’s meant to be temporary. Nothing more. But temporary stops being simple when he invites her to his family’s Christmas party as a friend. Surrounded by his close-knit family, a mistletoe tradition pushes them into a kiss neither of them can avoid. And neither of them can forget. ​After that night, Rhett pulls away—afraid of what she’s becoming to him. But distance doesn’t undo what happened. And Lacey can’t stop remembering what it felt like to be chosen. Because some moments don’t fade. And neither does the way it changed everything—no matter how hard she tries to go back. ​ A clean, swoony small-town Christmas romance about guarded hearts, impossible moments, and love that refuses to be forgotten.
