These five interconnected holiday stories feature characters from Alexa Land’s Firsts and Forever Series and its spin-off, The Castaways Series. Chronologically, it takes place between Kindred Spirits (Castaways Series, Book 1) and Starting Over (Castaways, Book 2). What do the husband of a stressed out metal sculptor, a graffiti artist, an aging pop star, a young ranch hand, and an aspiring writer have in common? They each have a story to tell in Making Merry. Not everything goes according to plan in the quest for that mythical “Perfect Christmas”, but there are a lot of laughs, heartwarming romance, and some big surprises along the way. With the help of family and friends, somehow everything will work itself out – but maybe not in the way anyone was expecting.
