Merry Little Midlife Matchmaker

Everyone in Heart's Cove knows Lizzie Butler as the reliable single mom who keeps their tight-knit community running. What they don't know is that she's been secretly pining for her brother's best friend since high school-the same man they've just volunteered her to matchmake for.

Sean Hardy returned to his hometown looking for community, not complications. But his best friend's curvy little sister has grown into a woman he can't ignore, especially when she keeps setting him up with every eligible bachelorette except herself.

Between family obligations, small-town gossip, and their own complicated history, Sean and Lizzie know they should stay in their lanes. But in a town this small, some lanes are bound to cross...especially under the mistletoe.
