ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 17, 2020
At seventeen, I left Isaac Donoghue behind to become a professional ballerina.
When I return home to dance in the Nutcracker, I never expect to run into him. Let alone on my first day in town. I can’t help but admire him in a crisp suit with his toned soccer body, chiseled jaw line, and all too familiar piercing green eyes. I thought nothing could surprise me more.
Until his five year old daughter runs out of the ballet studio.
I’m only in town for a month. I shouldn’t get involved with anyone, especially the ex I’ve been pining after for years. Especially when he has a daughter to consider.
But where Isaac is concerned, I’ve never been able to stay away.
With the help of some Christmas magic, maybe we finally have a shot at our second chance.

REVIEW:A WRIGHT CHRISTMAS by KA Linda is a contemporary, stand alone, holiday romance story line set in the author’s Wright World series. This is Wright Construction project manager and single father Isaac Donoghue, and New York City Ballet prima ballerina Peyton Medina’s story line. A WRIGHT CHRISTMAS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Many of the previous story line couples cross over for cohesion and familiarity.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Peyton and Isaac) A WRIGHT CHRISTMAS follows the second chance romance between Wright Construction project manager and single father Isaac Donoghue, and New York City Ballet prima ballerina Peyton Medina’. Fifteen years earlier, Peyton Medina destroyed Isaac Donaghue’s heart when she left Lubbock Texas to pursue a career as professional ballerina. Fast forward to present day wherein Peyton has been invited to star in Lubbock’s holiday presentation of the Nutcracker, and with it, the possibility of facing the man she has never stopped loving. Enter Isaac Donaghue. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Isaac and Peyton, and the potential fall-out as Peyton’s time in Texas comes to a close.
Isaac Donaghue is a single father who lost his wife five years earlier but our hero has never stopped loving the only woman who has ever broken his heart, and with her return meant the possibility of a second chance with Peyton Medina. Peyton never expected to fall hard for the man whose heart she destroyed but an emergency return to New York broke something in Peyton, as she struggled between head and heart, and the career she has focused on all of her life.
The relationship between Peyton and Isaac is one of second chances: a rekindling romance between two people whose relationship was destroyed when Peyton left to pursue her career, and Isaac was offered the chance at a soccer scholarship. Isaac had never stopped loving our story line heroine but Peyton had no plans to return to Lubbock or Isaac. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several couples from the previous instalment in the Wright World series. We are introduced to Isaac’s five year old daughter Aly, as well as his sister Annie; Peyton’s siblings Piper and Peter, Piper’s roommate Blaire, their parents, and grandmother; LBC artistic director Kathy Brown, and several young hopeful ballerinas and dancers.
A WRIGHT CHRISTMAS is a sweet and sexy story of second chances. The premise is realistic and spirited: the romance is seductive and tender; the characters are sassy, imaginative and dynamic. A WRIGHT CHRISTMAS is a wonderful and impassioned tale for your holiday reading.
