My family is famous for two things in our small Our annual Christmas party And…. Our feud with The Pearce family. Our families hate each other. It’s a tale as old as St. Nick himself. So, imagine what happens when a harmless little argument with Jackson Pearce ends with us both behind bars for the night. As if that wasn’t bad enough… The punishment for our crime? The only Christmas party we’re allowed to have is one together. At Town Hall. But… It gets worse . That means that I’ll be forced to spend time with Jackson and his enormous ego while we plan this party and somehow keep our families from strangling each other with tinsel this holiday season. It doesn’t help that he is annoyingly attractive and goes out of his way to push my buttons. With his old, dirty, work boots, and his stupid veiny forearms, he works his way into my perfectly organized life and leaves everything in disarray. Will we actually be able to survive this… Festive Feud, or will we end up back where we started?

From bestselling author of The Mistletoe Bet, Maren Moore comes a brand new second chance, single dad, holiday novella full of Christmas sugar and spice. I love Christmas. So much so that in my smalltown I’m known as The Queen of Christmas. And no one knows holiday festivities quite like Strawberry Hollow. Only this Christmas season delivers an unexpected twist in the form of Wyatt Owens. The handsome single father of my new student… Who just so happens to also be my first love. The one who broke my heart all those years ago. I haven’t seen Wyatt since he left our hometown behind, but a piece of my heart has always been his. And all those old feelings come rushing back the moment we see each other again. Only now the boy I once loved is a charming, delicious and intoxicating man. One I’m not sure I can resist. Especially when neither of us can deny his daughter Lucy’s holiday wish\- for the three of us to compete together as a team in Strawberry Hollow’s Annual Christmas List tradition. At first, he’s determined to win every festive challenge on the list but the more things we check off, the more it seems like he wants to win me instead. Soon things are heating up between us, and suddenly I find myself at risk of falling… for my ex. But I’m not sure I could survive the heartbreak of losing him again. Is this just a holiday fling… Or is this the second chance I’ve always secretly hoped for?
