The last thing Christie Winters has time to deal with during the Christmas rush at her store, the Vermont Sugar Shack, is her mother’s impulsive wedding to a younger man she met on vacation. Determined to end their two-week romance, she flies to Florida. But before she can convince her mother to call off the wedding, an unexpected kiss and the tropical holiday wonder of Barefoot Bay begin to change Christie’s cynical beliefs about romance. Chase Barrington would do anything for Troy Hughes, his best pal since childhood, even stand up as best man, despite his own skeptical views on marriage. When he discovers Troy’s fiancée is several years older and they’ve only known each other a few days, he knows he has to change Troy’s mind before he makes the biggest mistake of his life. An impulsive moment with a tall, beautiful blonde under the mistletoe changes everything—just not the way Chase had planned. Can the magic of mistletoe inspire a cynic and a skeptic to believe in the reality of love?
