Description

He's a nerdy tourist needing a vacation.
She's a bed and breakfast employee with a broken heart.
Love is the last thing they expect to find this Christmas.


Introvert Braxton Wertz needs a vacation, but his trip to the small town of Cloverdale Falls is anything but restful when he finds himself not only falling for the sweet and bubbly Gracely, but also in the crosshairs of geriatric private investigators...and their numerous shenanigans.

Recovering from a painful breakup, extrovert Gracely Eklund needs a vacation. Where better to spend her Christmas than her aunt and uncle's charming bed and breakfast? Her time managing the business comes with a few surprises, one of those being the nerdy and lovable Braxton.

He's from Florida. She's from the Rocky Mountain West. Can Christmastime, an incomplete photo album, and a quirky town with its equally quirky residents bring two unsuspecting hearts together?

Under the Mistletoe can be read as a standalone or enjoyed in conjunction with Recipe for Love.

**Please note: Under the Mistletoe is a faith-filled contemporary Christian romance.**
