Mistletoe & Mischief

By Maisie Everbrook

Clara Bennett has a plan for the perfect Christmas. Three binders, labeled extension cords, and absolutely no time for Owen Sullivan's nonsense.

Unfortunately, Owen has a ladder, a sprig of mistletoe, and very little interest in leaving her alone.

For her first year organizing Hollywick's Christmas festival, Clara is determined to give her snowy Vermont hometown a celebration worth remembering. She's less enthusiastic about being paired with the town's most aggravating carpenter for a series of holiday challenges. Owen is dependable, annoyingly handsome, and entirely too good at making her laugh when she's trying to be serious.

Then a runaway delivery cart wrecks the beloved Christmas Post Office, leaving them twelve days to rebuild it before Christmas Eve.

Suddenly, Clara's carefully arranged schedule includes paint-covered afternoons, a gingerbread construction disaster, and far too much time noticing how Owen remembers the little things. Like her favorite pastry. How she takes her hot chocolate. When she needs someone to help, and when she simply needs someone to listen.

Between meddling neighbors and a town determined to celebrate, their teasing begins to feel suspiciously like flirting.

Clara knows how to organize a festival. Figuring out what to do with the man who's becoming her favorite part of Christmas might take a little more courage.

Mistletoe & Mischief is a sweet, kisses-only Christmas romantic-comedy novella featuring playful banter, forced proximity, small-town matchmaking, and a heartfelt happy ending. A standalone romance in the Cozy Christmas Chaos series, with no profanity or explicit scenes.
