He’s a walking scandal. She’s allergic to drama. So why do their fake kisses feel so real? A self-destructive movie star. An introverted florist. A fake romance under a thousand twinkling lights. After his latest scandal tanks his reputation, Hollywood bad boy Dash Pine is shipped off to the quaint town of Mistletoe Mountain for a staged holiday romance with America's sweetheart. But when the actress bails, Dash looks doomed to make headlines for all the wrong reasons—until a local florist walks in with a sleigh-load of flowers and ends up with a starring role instead. Quiet Ivy Jolly prefers to let her stunning floral creations do the talking. But when Dash's frazzled publicist begs her to pose as his small-town sweetheart for a week of holiday photo ops, she reluctantly agrees. It's just one week. Just pretend. Just one very handsome, very complicated movie star. As sparks fly and staged kisses start to feel real, Ivy sees a side of Dash the tabloids never capture—vulnerable, genuine, and yearning for something more. Meanwhile, Dash shows Ivy that stepping into the spotlight doesn't mean stealing it—it means claiming the space that was always hers to begin with. When a stray comment about cats threatens to derail Dash’s redemption arc and leave Ivy caught in the fallout, a last-minute Santa Paws fundraiser magically materializes to save the day. And Ivy starts to who's really pulling the strings behind the scenes? As she untangles Dash's carefully guarded past, Ivy uncovers a secret that could change everything—and give Dash the one gift he never thought he'd a real family for Christmas. A closed-door, opposites-attract holiday rom-com full of small-town charm, swoony chemistry, heartwarming surprises, and a hint of mystery, The Christmas Arrangement is the third book in the Mistletoe Mountain series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone.

She's edited medical, scientific, and technical journals, as well as educational books; clerked for a federal judge; worked for major international law firms; and run a two-person law firm with her lawyer husband.
