A Crimson Heart is the first story in the Crimson Grove Series. 

She lost her husband years ago. Now, she may lose the one person—and the one place—that still holds his memory.

Amelia Hennipen has spent years quietly mourning her husband, Simon, while doing her duty, as she sees it. But grief doesn’t offer rest—not when the past lingers in every room of Hennipen House, and not while caring for Simon’s aging grandmother, Henny, whose mind is slowly slipping away.

This Thanksgiving, new neighbors, Nathan Shaw and his young nephew, bring fresh laughter and the warm aromas of a holiday meal back into the house. For the first time in years, Hennipen House feels alive. Plans for a memorable Christmas are underway… until Henny’s daughter, Lisa, delivers news that will break the promises she made to Henny, and change everything.

A heartwarming holiday novella about love, the memories we cherish, difficult decisions, and the strength it takes to choose one’s path.
