Magic in Mistletoe (Kringle Cousin Romance Book 1)

For readers who love clean, feel-good Christmas romances — especially anyone who enjoys quick, heartwarming reads and Hallmark-style holiday stories filled with charm and festive magic. ***** A reality-show runaway, an Alaskan candy store, and a toymaker who is not the Santa Claus, but a Santa Claus. Sadie Wexford runs a failing candy store she inherited from a grandmother she never met. After her engagement collapsed on national television, all she wants is a life nobody is filming. Martin Kringle is a toymaker, a single father, and a member of the Kringle family that delivers the toys on Christmas Eve. All he wants is to tell her the truth — but her past has made her unlikely to forgive a secret kept at Christmas. Then a storm strands her in his cabin, and Martin tells her everything. Just as Sadie opens her heart, she learns the Kringles cannot stay. Martin is leaving Mistletoe, and he wants her to come with him. Now Sadie has to choose between the man she is falling for and the first place that has ever felt like home. Or is there a way she can have both? Magic in Mistletoe is a cozy Christmas romance about the kind of magic that comes less from a magical workshop and more from a town that shows up when you are at your lowest. A fourteen-year-old who takes your side. A man who tells you the truth even when it costs him everything.
