Ivy Stringer loves Christmas, lesfic, and, secretly, the fact that she shares a first name with her favorite author, Ivy Winters. With every book she reads, she hopes for her own magical holiday love story. Kit Gunderson is back in Beaumont for the holidays and feeling more at home than she has in a long time, especially when she meets her adorable niece’s teacher, Ms. Stringer. As they bond over the school’s winter production, their distaste of holiday tacos, and Kit learning to ski, everything seems to be falling into place. The only problem? Ivy’s poked around and figured out exactly who Kit’s author persona is—except that she’s totally wrong, and has no idea the woman she’s falling for is the favorite author she knows she could never keep her cool around, Ivy Winters. After all, there’s no better way to meet your favorite author than by accidentally falling in love first.
