Will she fall for the big-city guy, or swoon under the mistletoe with her hometown best friend? This cozy holiday romance has all the warmth and charm of your favorite Christmas film—from the author of Meet Me Under the Lights.

“Will appeal to fans of Gilmore Girls and Hallmark movies.”—Kirkus Reviews

GIANNA MANCINI IS A CHRISTMAS ROMANTIC. She especially loves the way Mullings Creek Market transforms into a holiday wonderland during the most magical time of the year.

While Gianna adores her small-town life, she dreams about traveling and getting a break from her overbearing family. Except on the same day she finally gets her ticket out, the market’s beloved owner unexpectedly passes away, leaving the property to a literal Scrooge from NYC!

The town has just one month to convince the owner, their new guest, not to sell. His flirtatious son, James, suggests he and Gianna should fake date. Surely her holiday flair will warm his father’s icy heart. While Gianna is up for whatever it takes to save the market, Sam, who has been secretly pining for Gianna for years, is not so keen on James snuggling up with his best friend next to the Christmas tree. But as the lines between Gianna and James begin to blur during gingerbread contests and candy cane hunts, so do the lines of friendship between Gianna and Sam under the glow of the town’s holiday twinkle lights.

Soon, both boys are ready to be under the mistletoe with Gianna. Who will be her first real Christmas kiss? The future of the market and her town may just depend on it.

Filled with swoon-worthy romance, lighthearted comedy, and upbeat holiday cheer, Meet Me on Mistletoe Lane is the perfect festive read for those looking to revel in the magic of unexpected love.
