Can two feuding grandparents survive the holidays under one roof… without decking each other first?

After her divorce, Kathleen thought she’d finally found her fresh start—new town, new toy store, and time with her granddaughters. But when the shop’s finances falter and her daughter is called away on an emergency, Kathleen suddenly finds herself juggling full-time childcare, a struggling business, and her most unexpected challenge yet: Roy, her granddaughters’ other grandfather.

Roy is charming, infuriating, and completely convinced he knows best. The girls adore him—Kathleen, not so much. She’s determined to keep the peace, but between snowstorms, toy shop troubles, and too many cups of hot cocoa, sparks start to fly.

Roy isn’t thrilled either. Sure, he promised his son he’d step up, but Kathleen is bossy, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. Unfortunately, so is the way she makes his heart beat faster. As they both navigate old hurts and new beginnings, the magic of Christmas begins to weave its quiet spell—reminding them that sometimes forgiveness, family, and even love deserve a second chance.

Set in the charming coastal town of Sunshine Bay, Christmas Trees and Mistletoe is a feel-good holiday romance about second chances, blended families, and believing in love when you least expect it. Perfect for readers who enjoy:
