A Love Like Christmas Time

Welcome to Wayward Hollow - Where strangers become family and love finds a way.

After catching my fiancé tangled up with my sister (yes, my sister), and being told by my parents I was “overreacting,” I packed my best friend and what was left of my dignity to flee to Wayward Hollow - a picturesque little town that looks like it was plucked straight out of a Hallmark movie.

I try to put myself back together. People-pleasing? Officially retired. Love? Off the table.

At least that was the plan.

But Chaos unfolds when my attempt to save a stray cat leads me to Henry. The town’s beloved veterinarian is gentle, ridiculously attractive, and seems to have a sixth sense for broken things...including me.

Just when I start to believe in new beginnings, the past comes knocking—loud, uninvited, and far from finished.

My plan was to build a life here, lick my wounds, drown in self-pity and romanticize the hell out of my single life.

It was definitely not to fall for the hot town vet.
