OVERVIEW: They’re extroverts, they’re neighbors, but they don’t do Christmas.

Wyatt: 

I’m an extroverted accountant, and though I love numbers, I crave human interaction. My new neighbor is like me, and as we spend more time together my feelings start adding up. It helps that Rebekah is anti-Christmas, too. My interest in Rebekah is accruing, but is falling in love really on my Christmas wishlist?

Rebekah:

I may be Scrooge on the inside, but my job requires some Christmas cheer. So, it’s nice to find another person who feels the same way I do, especially when it’s my cute neighbor. When we go to a few Christmas activities together as Scrooge buddies, I start to wonder if I should wish for more. Maybe even a mistletoe kiss?

Is spending time together the right investment for these neighbors this Christmas season?

OVERVIEW: A classroom teacher. A swoony single dad. Undeniable tingles spark at The Christmas Spectacular.

James

Santa’s helper at this year’s community Christmas show? My son, Alfie.

The unexpected bonus to Alfie’s theatrical debut? Seeing his teacher, Miss Flo Simmons, at rehearsals.

When she’s around, I light up like a Christmas tree.

It could just be the effects of tinsel and glitter but I’m feeling something I thought was lost.

Flo, however, is strictly off-limits. Even if I wanted to date again, my priority is being Alfie’s dad.

Flo

It’s possibly the holly-jolly time of year, but James Hadley, the attractive dad of one of my students, is turning my insides to Jello.

On the stage, we get stuck behind a plywood snowman. Close together in the dark, my pulse races when we almost kiss.

But romance is a no-no. This fluttery crush won’t last.

Like melting snow, it’ll be gone, unless some mistletoe magic happens.

OVERVIEW: A big-city detour, a small-town fight, and one romance making a comeback.

Chloe

I didn’t plan on spending December sorting through my grandparents’ house, but here I am—back in Penrose Beach. After being passed over for a promotion, escaping the city sounded like a good idea. What I didn’t expect? Running into Brock Ashford. My first love. The guy I left behind when I swore I was too big for this town. Now he owns the coziest bed and breakfast—and it’s about to be flattened by developers. And only I can help him save it.

Brock

I thought I’d moved on from Chloe Foster. Then she walked back into town with that stubborn grin and big-city determination. Saving the B&B has always been my dream, but working side by side with her makes me wonder if Christmas has a different plan. Maybe this time, I won’t just save the inn—I’ll get a second chance at love.

Chloe Foster’s Holiday Rewrite, a second-chance romance novella, is book 9 of the Letters to Mrs. Claus multi-author series—a kisses-only romantic comedy collection bursting with holiday cheer. Each story is linked through Mrs. Claus’s Operation Mistletoe Match, where she receives a letter from a meddling friend or family member about someone lonely, heartbroken, or closed off to love. With her timeless wisdom, Mrs. Claus pens a tailored message to the subject of the letter, offering an inspiring note that tackles their romantic roadblock. Packed with hilarious mishaps, flustered blushes, and courageous adventures as they chase their happily-ever-after in this no-spice, swoon-worthy series!

OVERVIEW: One cabin + a few letters = one unexpected Christmas

Harper

One leaky pipe, and suddenly I’m spending December in Eli Stone’s cabin. Aunt Rita calls it a “holiday blessing,” which is suspicious—especially since I suspect she’s the same aunt who somehow arranged for “Mrs. Claus” to send me a letter that knows more about my heart than I do. Now I’m decking Eli’s very un-decked halls, trying to ignore how safe it feels to be here… and how my heart trips when he smiles.

Eli

I’ve built my life on quiet. Predictable. No surprises. Then Harper Lane—and her twinkle lights, cat, and mysterious letter—moved in. She laughs like she’s trying to convince the world she’s fine, but I’ve started to see the truth under the sparkle. And I can’t stop wanting to be the one she lets in.

This Christmas, maybe the best gift isn’t under the tree.
Maybe it’s her.

As my brother’s guardian, he’s my top priority. If it’s not helpful to Cameron, I’m not doing it. Dating is off the table for me.

But when the chance to take on my ex in our hometown Christmas tournament comes up, Sadie Hart is the only partner I want by my side.

OVERVIEW: Two Best Friends. One Mistletoe Mix Up. And a kiss that changes everything.

Grayson

Last Christmas, a masked bandit robbed the bookstore.

That’s how I met Tandy.

Now she’s my best friend—the one that always brightens my day.

When her rental floods, I tell her she can stay with Gramps and me.

Early morning breakfasts’, late night talks, her messes in my tidy space.

I catch myself looking at her differently…Wanting more than I should.

Then she kisses me.

Tandy

I wasn’t supposed to stay in this town.

But I traded traveling in my VW van for story hours, mismatched sweaters, and a police officer who’s always there when I need him.

Grayson Sanders—steady, loyal, annoyingly outdoorsy.

My best friend.

But best friends aren’t supposed to want more.

He’s totally, completely off-limits.

So why did one mistletoe kiss feel like a mistake I want to make again?
