Merry Little Mix-Up — Lacey Black

Eve Christmas in Snowflake Falls is the most wonderful time of the year. The lights, sounds, and smells are pure magic. Living here is like being wrapped up in a warm holiday hug. There's nothing better. My cozy little world gets shaken like a snow globe when the house next door sells. Worse yet, the new neighbor's tomcat sneaks over and makes himself at home on my Christmas quilt with my sweet feline. Furious, I storm next door to give the owner a piece of my mind, only to find John Mitchell—my first love—standing there. It would be so easy to fall back into a rhythm with him, one where only he and I exist. As the holidays pull us closer, I have to wonder, are we just wrapped up in the season...or could this time be different?John Returning to Snowflake Falls is exactly what I needed in my life—especially right before Christmas. I'd forgotten how much I missed the holidays in my hometown. What I didn't expect was my new next-door neighbor to be the one who got away. The moment she stomps over to my house, bangs on my door, and demands cat-support in the likelihood of a feline pregnancy, I know I'm done for. Eve is every bit as feisty and beautiful as I remember. Being around her rekindles feelings I thought had faded, and the spark between us makes me think we could pick up right where we left off. First, I have to convince her this isn't about holiday nostalgia. It's about forever.
