Her Christmas escape plan? Cozy nights, no drama. What she gets? One charming inn, two curious kids, and a whole lot of unexpected holiday magic. Jessica Louis is tired of spending the holidays alone. A last-minute escape to the charming Holly House Inn sounds like the perfect way to hide from her own heartbreak. But between a surprise blizzard, two curious little girls, and an innkeeper with more secrets than garland, her plans for a peaceful Christmas vanish faster than fresh snow on warm pavement. Graham Harper has held the pieces of his family together since his wife’s passing—running the inn, raising his daughters, and keeping his heart carefully locked away. He’s got cocoa to stir, beds to turn down, and no room for unexpected guests with bright smiles and soft hearts. But when the storm traps them inside the snowbound inn, Jessica’s warmth begins to thaw more than the ice on the windows. As laughter returns to the hallways and new traditions take root, she realizes that Holly House isn’t just a place to stay—it might be a place to belong. _____________________________________________________ Holly & Heartbeats is a cozy, heartfelt grumpy sunshine Christmas romance filled with found family, small-town charm, and slow-burn holiday magic—proof that sometimes, the best gifts aren’t found under the tree.
