Who Needs Mistletoe




The Summer I Turned Pretty gets a Christmas makeover in this slow-burn romance about the girl next door who might just have fallen for the wrong brother...

Christmas doesn't get swoonier than this steamy, second-chance, girl-next-door romance.

Ivy Weaver hasn't been back to her Christmas-card-perfect-hometown in ten years. After accidentally confessing her love to her crush Austin’s older brother, Grant Underwood, his brutal reaction made leaving town easy.

Her embarrassment made staying away for ten years even easier. Until now.

When Ivy’s parents announce they’re moving, she returns for one last Christmas; just long enough to celebrate the season and pack up the family home - and her past - for good.

Grant has never forgiven himself for ruining his chances with Ivy.

He's always done exactly what was expected of him: taking over the family business and never making the same mistake twice.

With Ivy back in town, Grant sees a second chance he didn’t think he’d get. All he needs to do is prove to Ivy that she fell for the wrong brother all those years ago.

Between a chaotic family holiday, Austin’s sudden interest in Ivy, and one extremely mischievous orange cat, Grant is running out of time before the Christmas season ends.

It’s going to take more than mistletoe to seal this love story with a kiss.
