This coming holiday season, I’m collaborating with a wonderful group of authors in a holiday-themed Bookfunnel anthology called Holly and Heartstrings Vol. 2. Since this is a Bookfunnel anthology it will be free beginning November 15, 2025. But that means there is no preorder link. The best way to be notified about this anthology is to sign up for my newsletter as that’s how I’ll send out the link.
Anyway, today I want to share the cover and blurb for my story within this anthology. It’s a new novella in my Kingsmill Courtships series called Mistletoe for Holly. This story is a continuation of the love story between Luke Mosby and Dr. Holly Wythe which began in Luke’s Last Hot Summer, a novella that is still available in the Finding Forever Anthology (at least for a few more days as it comes down from all vendors later this week). This Christmas novella follows Luke and Holly’s love story as they navigate their new lives in Kingsmill and are faced with the existential question of whether or not they belong–in their hometown, their new jobs, and together forever and ever. This novella has a hard-won happily ever after with all of the holiday and Christmas feels. I can’t wait for you all to read it!
Mistletoe for Holly
Can a mistletoe kiss hold a promise that lasts forever?
Holly Wythe never planned to find home in a snow-dusted mountain town or in the steady arms of Luke Mosby. Yet somehow, Kingsmill has given her both. She loves the work she’s doing at the small hospital, loves the man who sees her like no one else ever has… but when an invitation to speak at a prestigious Boston conference stirs up old dreams, she begins to wonder if she’s ready to give up the life she thought she wanted for the one she’s building here.
Luke knows Holly’s heart is as wild and bright as the mountains they call home. He’s ready to build a future with her. He’s got a ring in his pocket, and a proposal planned under the Christmas Eve bonfire lights. But as a snowstorm sweeps in and the distance between them grows, he begins to fear she might slip away.
On the most magical night of the year, Holly and Luke must face the truth neither has dared to speak aloud: love isn’t about waiting until you’re certain. It’s about choosing each other, every single day.
This novella will be included in the Holly and Heartstrings Anthology Vol. 2 coming 11/15/2025! More info coming soon.
