(2024)(The first book in the Christmas in Pine Haven series)
A novel by Hannah Jo Abbott
Holiday lights, old rivalries, and an unexpected Christmas gift.
Ivy Sinclair never imagined she’d return to Pine Haven—especially not with a broken heart and a career in shambles. After a devastating breakup and losing her job at the event planning firm, Ivy heads back to her small hometown. Determined to regroup for a few days before moving on, she has no plans to stick around, let alone reconnect with the past. But when the town ropes her into co-planning the annual Christmas festival, she finds herself face-to-face with an old rival.
Nick Grayson has always been rooted in his hometown, content with his quiet life and the traditions he loves. Working with Ivy again was the last thing he expected this Christmas. As they clash over ideas for the festival, Nick begins to see her passion for her work and her determination stirs up feelings in him that he buried long ago. He's left wondering if beneath their arguing, there's a connection worth exploring.
With Christmas fast approaching, Ivy and Nick must decide if they can let go of old grudges to work together—and if there’s room for second chances under the mistletoe.
