Under the Mistletoe

By Tari Faris and Susan May Warren

Sometimes the best Christmas gifts come wrapped in second chances...

Social worker Devin Hendrickson pours her heart into running Heritage's foster care support program, organizing magical Christmas events for families while trying to ignore her own abandoned heart. When her program faces shutdown, she'll need a Christmas miracle - and maybe the help of the one man who once broke her heart.

Logan Kingsley, the bestselling author behind the pseudonym Victor Holt, hides away in his cabin fighting writer's block and his forbidden feelings for Devin. But when three foster siblings capture his heart, he realizes he might be ready for more than just writing happy endings.

As Devin races to save her program and Logan struggles to finish his book, they discover they need each other-at least for the season. With three children's futures hanging in the balance, they must decide if they're brave enough to risk their hearts again. If they fail, it's not just Logan's career or Devin's program at stake - it's the chance at the family they never knew they wanted.

Can a Christmas-loving community coordinator and a reclusive author learn to trust in love again? Or will past hurts and present fears keep them from building the family they both desperately want?

"Mistletoe" delivers all the cozy small-town Christmas romance feels with a heart-warming story about chosen family, second chances, and the courage to fight for love. Fans of foster family dynamics, secret identity reveals, and Christmas community events will fall in love with Heritage and its enchanting cast of characters.

This sweet contemporary Christmas romance features childhood crushes, secret bestselling authors, Christmas charity events, found family dynamics, and enough holiday magic to make you believe in second chances. Content suitable for all readers.

You Matter!

You Are Worth Fighting For.....that's what this book is about, Devin and Logan both believe that they are not good enough that no one wants them, especially each other. They are totally wrong! I stayed up way too late reading this but oh, my goodness. This is the BEST Heritage book I've read.

Love Wins in the End

Readers are transported back to the lovely town of Heritage, where people care for one another. The two main characters, Logan and Devin, struggle with the same issue but in different ways. Both suffer from the belief that they’re never enough to truly be loved. Logan’s belief is more self-inflicted, but his struggle is relatable. It’s hard to live in someone’s shadow. For Devin, the struggle stems from emotional neglect. Despite both characters feeling as if they were never enough, they have turned out to be people who can love deeply. The romance is clean, with a few kissing scenes that might fog up the windows but nothing unwholesome. There is a faith message, but it’s not preachy and reminds us we are never alone because the ultimate power is always there to fight for us. This is another enjoyable installment in the series.
