Jingle All the Way Home (Mistletoe Falls Series

Renee Bentley spent a decade conquering Manhattan's marketing world, only to discover that success had left her empty. After a corporate buyout sets her free, she makes an impulsive decision that shocks everyone: buying her late Aunt Holly's inn in Mistletoe Falls, Tennessee. The Victorian inn needs more than fresh paint. And Renee? She needs a contractor.

Jake Morrison, the small-town builder with calloused hands and a guarded heart. He's spent years proving he's more than the golden boy who lost his shot at glory. When the sophisticated city girl walks back into his world, Jake knows two things: she's completely out of his league, and he's in serious trouble.

As sledgehammers meet stubborn walls and old fixtures make way for new dreams, something unexpected happens between paint samples and plumbing disasters. Renee discovers that Jake sees her-not the corporate executive she pretended to be, but the woman she's always wanted to become. And Jake realizes that maybe he's been building toward this moment his entire life.

Can a former Manhattan executive and a small-town contractor build something that lasts? Or will their foundation crumble before they finish what they started?

Perfect for readers who enjoy heartwarming small-town romance that features a strong heroine reinventing her life, a patient hero who proves that real strength is measured in character, and a charming Southern town that wraps around your heart like a favorite blanket.
