Christmas Catch

Previously published in 2017 under the title A Sidelined Christmas.

When two high school sweethearts reunite, will they take another chance at love or let life sideline them at Christmas?

Benched with a career-ending injury, NFL wide receiver Jahleel Walker is forced to return to his hometown of Peachwood Bay, Georgia, during the holidays to heal. Nothing shocks him more than running into his former flame, Lucille “Bebe” Gordon.

As they navigate the holiday season, both must face significant hurdles:

• Jahleel: Dealing with a rocky relationship with his father and the loss of his professional football career.
• Bebe: Raising her daughter alone after a divorce and fearing the pain of Jahleel leaving her a second time.

As their hometown’s Christmas festivities bring them together, Jahleel Walker must decide if he’s only home for the holidays or if the Christmas spirit will last all through the year.

A Sidelined Christmas is a heartwarming holiday tale from award-winning author Toni Shiloh.
