Regina might be the town’s resident ice queen, but this Christmas her heart’s in serious danger of thawing when she gets a second chance with her first love. Tyler Arnold is back from Hollywood to visit family and friends in the small town of Friar Hollow, a hamlet that’s synonymous with elaborate holiday celebrations and relentless matchmaking. It’s also the home of his childhood crush, his first love, and the woman he proposed to…before running away. But now he’s back—in his ex’s town, at her friends’ parties, and sleeping on her couch. It’s not like he meant to crash his high school sweetheart’s holidays, and he certainly didn’t arrange to be caught beneath the mistletoe with her…three times. But fate keeps throwing them together—and forcing them to kiss—so maybe the time has finally come. Maybe after a decade apart, she’ll finally forgive him for leaving her. Or maybe not. But with mistletoe kisses, meddling family, and well-intentioned friends cropping up at every turn, Regina and Tyler are about to find out if this holiday season, their Christmas miracle is a second chance at a happily ever after.
