A THRILLER SHORT STORY!
A gripping Christmas-themed short story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden, author of The Housemaid!
What would you sacrifice for the perfect gift?
Stella is working two jobs, yet she still can’t afford a Christmas present for her husband on their first Christmas together. What should have been a magical holiday has instead become a painful reminder of everything she can’t provide.
Then a mysterious pawn shop owner offers Stella an intriguing trade. Desperate to give her husband the perfect gift, Stella is willing to consider almost anything. But every gift comes with a price—and this one may cost far more than she ever imagined.
Inspired by O. Henry’s beloved classic The Gift of the Magi, Freida McFadden delivers a chilling Christmas thriller short story where love, desperation and deadly consequences collide.
