Evergreen Lake is my home. I love everything about it, from the scenic views to the small-town vibes. One thing we do well is celebrate Christmas, from a 70-foot Christmas tree to Santa decorating cookies with the kids.
The only problem with Evergreen Lake? Finding a man who’s willing to live there. My best friend found her Knight in Shining Armor at a celebrity golf benefit.
And I found mine at a….
Yeah, I’m stuck with my business, Lips & Hips Bistro, and eating pints of chocolate, banana, and peanut butter ice cream.

My life is a mess.
But none of it matters.
My only focus is buckling down and getting back on the field.
The only problem is that my brother has saddled me with his wife’s best friend as a tour guide, and she’s getting under my skin.
Before I know it, I’m glaring at the man Norah’s mother wants her to marry and following her around like a lovesick puppy.
What in the ever-lovin’ Christmas hell am I doing?
