Josie Ward doesn't want a lot for Christmas-just for the entire holiday season to be over and done with as quickly as humanly possible. That's not too much to ask, right?
But who can blame her? The holidays have been extra light on the holly and without much jolly since her sister passed, and no amount of belief in anything will bring her back. Christmas wish lists are for children, anyway. Not single women in their mid-thirties.
She isn't the Queen of Christmas, anymore. Definitely not the Princess of Positivity. This Jojo has lost her mojo, according to her friend Johnny. But, it's not like she's actively looking for it.
No, this queen hung up her crown years ago.
Christmas magic? No such thing. Holiday miracles? Only in movies. Happy ever afters? Don't even get her started.
But a blast from Josie's past has her wondering whether she might be capable of change. He's certainly changed. Because, yeah. Kevin definitely didn't look like that at fourteen.
With the help of a meddlesome friend, a sprig of seaweed, and a partridge in a pear tree, can a man who knew the girl she was help the woman she's become see there's hope, even in the darkest places? Perhaps the one thing she didn't ask for this Christmas will end up being the greatest gift of all.
A sweet, feel-good holiday romantic comedy, Mishaps and Mistletoe has slow-burn chemistry, mild language, and plenty of sizzle and spice without on-page explicit content.
