The Merriest Magnolia — Michelle Major

Home for the holidays has always meant cozy small-town traditions…but this year all that may change…

Carrie Reed has always been known as her hometown's good girl, yet she still loves Magnolia, North Carolina -- after all, this is where her newly discovered sisters, Avery and Meredith, live. But Christmas is on its way, and with it her first love, Dylan Scott -- back in town and planning on changing everything she's ever loved about Magnolia with his real estate development project…but not without a fight.

Returning to Magnolia was never in Dylan's plans -- it holds too many reminders that he would never be good enough…and memories of the girl he left behind. But when a tragedy leaves him as the guardian of a grieving teenager, Dylan returns, ready to remake the town into something only money can buy, small-town traditions be damned. But with Carrie determined to stop him, he finds himself wondering if redeeming his teenage reputation is worth losing out on his second chance at love.
