The Christmas Gamble

Prue is tired of the same old holiday traditions. Separated this season from her usual family routines and stuck in her job as a croupier at a local casino, she looks for a break from the norm - something to keep the spirit of the holidays alive. She finds an unlikely opportunity to renew her Christmas cheer through a random social media post. And an unlikely person just happens to be watching.... ’The Christmas Gamble’ first appeared in 2018 as first place in the Heart & Mind Press holiday story contest.
