Mistletoe Mix-Up is a snowbound, fake marriage holiday romance about a driven surgeon forced to confront family expectations, old wounds, and unexpected desire when one lie spirals out of control. Avery Collins has built her life on precision, discipline, and emotional distance. But when her family pressures her during a tense holiday gathering, she blurts out a lie she cannot undo: she is married. Now cornered by expectations and years of judgment she no longer has the strength to carry, Avery must find someone believable enough to play the part. Logan Hunter is the last man she should ask. Rugged, steady, and rooted in the Wyoming mountains, he is everything she once promised herself she would avoid. They met only once-a brief encounter she never forgot-but when Avery shows up on his porch in the middle of a snowstorm asking him to pretend to be her husband, Logan agrees against his better judgment. What begins as a temporary arrangement soon becomes complicated. As Avery's family settles onto the ranch for the holidays, close quarters turn simmering tension into undeniable chemistry. Snowstorms trap them together, secrets rise to the surface, and small moments between them take on a dangerous warmth neither of them is prepared for. The more they pretend, the more the line between acting and wanting begins to blur. Set against the brutal beauty of a Wyoming winter, Mistletoe Mix-Up is a sensual slow-burn romance filled with forced proximity heat, emotional vulnerability, and a cowboy who challenges everything Avery thought she knew about love. As Christmas approaches and the storms grow stronger, Avery and Logan must decide whether the relationship they built on a lie has the strength to become something real. Perfect for readers who love holiday tension, rugged Western heroes, and romances that blend emotional depth with undeniable heat, Mistletoe Mix-Up delivers a heartfelt journey of desire, healing, and the unexpected magic of choosing someone when it matters most.
