Brewing Up Christmas

By: North, May

All Cassie wanted was a Christmas free of drama-not a mystery, a micromanager, and a meddling ex.

Cassie Ripley never expected to be in charge of Hope Hill's most beloved holiday tradition-the Mistletoe Ball. But when the longtime chairwoman elopes with her yoga instructor just three weeks before Christmas, Cassie steps in with nothing but caffeine, determination, and a color-coded spreadsheet.

Things get complicated when Graham Wilson-her ex-boyfriend who left town (and her heart) behind 25 years ago-shows up offering to help. As if reuniting with the man who once broke her heart isn't enough, Cassie starts receiving anonymous threats hidden inside vintage holiday boxes from her shop's attic.

With the ball's venue vandalized and town council watchdog Daphne Pembroke breathing down her neck, Cassie leans on her best friends and Graham to unravel a decades-old scandal that may be at the heart of the sabotage. As snow blankets the streets and sparks fly again with Graham, Cassie must decide whether to protect her heart-or finally trust it again.

Can they save the ball-and maybe their chance at love-before the lights go out on Hope Hill's most magical night?

Brewing Up Christmas is a cozy, clean romantic story about family, second chance at love, and coming together as a community. This is the second book in the Hope Hill Romances series.
