Synopsis

Christmas magic is in the air at the Santa Clause Ball! Will it lead to love? Growing up in a town called Mistletoe Mountain, it's no wonder I love Christmas. My parents named me appropriately, too. You can't get much more Christmas-y than Holly Lane Garland! This Christmas is going to be even more magical than usual--I can just feel it! At the annual Santa Claus Ball, I meet an amazing man who makes my heart play "Jingle Bells." There's just one problem--well, maybe two. I have no idea what his name is--or what he looks like. (Did I mention the Santa Claus Ball is a masquerade?) Searching for my perfect man leads me to make a new friend. Patrick is amazing, and we have so much in common. He loves Christmas, too. But I think he has a girlfriend. And, well, he's just not the guy who kissed me under the mistletoe. Or is he? Will I find love before Santa arrives, or will I lose my chance at mistletoe magic? If you like sweet, clean Christmas romance novels that get you in the mood for the holidays, you won't want to miss this new romance from the author of Melody's Christmas, Christmas Cocoa, and All I Want for Christmas is Pooch!

Chapter 1

*Holly*I should have expected my parents’ bakery to be busy with the official kickoff of Christmas starting this weekend, but the mountains of boxes of Christmas cookies piled on the counter and near the back door were clear evidence that Christmas was in full swing. And I knew it wasn’t a minute too soon as I caught a glimpse of the first snow beginning to fall flake by fluffy flake outside the small window in the bakery’s back room. I topped one final swirl of baby Jesus’ hair on his sugar cookie-baked head. Perfect, I thought, but the sound of my mom calling to me from the front of the store brought me out of the zone. “Holly! You’re fixin’ to be late if you don’t get out of here soon!” she called. It was a sweet, sugar-coated, well-meaning threat. I was my parents’ only kid, and while I’d been a regular attendee of the Santa Claus Ball for my whole life, this was the first year I would be attending as a single adult woman. I technically could have participated in the one adult a...

Chapter 2
*Patrick*I couldn’t be upset that Mrs. Henson had some work for me on a Saturday. She was a nice, older woman who regularly asked for my services, even the non-electric related things. But I was willing to do anything for her because not only was she a close friend of my aunt, but she had also come to feel like a grandma to me. And after her husband of fifty-five years had passed away a few months ago, I’d started to give in to even more of her requests to come out and fix whatever small problem she was having–even on a Saturday.“I’m so sorry to have you come out again,” Mrs. Henson said as she wrapped her crocheted shawl around her shoulders. “I’m afraid I just don’t know how to do anything.”I noted the way she squeezed her eyebrows together with anxiety. I felt bad for her, and I didn’t want her to feel guilty for depending on me. It was only natural for a partner to feel a little lost after losing the person who had been faithfully by their side for over half their life. I gave

Chapter 3
*Holly*“I can’t believe we showed up to this thing in a cookie on wheels,” Gretchen said. She wasn’t all for riding to her potential engagement in my parent’s bakery van. It wasn’t the most romantic car in the world, but it was the only option that would fit the three of us since mine was temporarily out of commission, Abigail drove a little 2013 Mazda Miata with only two seats, and Gretchen didn’t want to take her car since she planned to leave with Joey for a midnight showing of A Christmas Story. “Get over it, girl,” Abigail told her with a tough love tone. “If you really love him, you won’t care what kind of car you arrive at your engagement in.”Gretchen frowned with a little sad sigh. “Yeah, yeah. You might have a point.”We all stepped out of the car, helping each other fix our hair and masks. I wrapped my arm around Gretchen’s shoulders and gave her a light squeeze. “G, to be honest, you gotta let go. You’ve been so caught up in wondering if he’s going to propose or not tha

Chapter 4
*Patrick*My heart raced as I placed my hand on her shoulder. I’d been trying to keep my eye on her so I wouldn’t lose her in the crowd of dancing Clauses and Mrs. Clauses. Every time I lost her, I’d find that shining emerald brooch on her dress. It hadn’t let me down yet. She relaxed. I breathed a sigh of relief. “I thought maybe you had found someone else,” she said timidly. I barely heard her over the muttering of the other people on the dance floor.I trailed my hand down her arm to take hold of her hand.“Two minutes!” the DJ called out.Just in time, I thought. Two minutes until the kiss…. I was still nervous, but growing more excited. “There's something about you,” I told her. The DJ piped up on the mic again. “Just a reminder, if you found the match you want to kiss, you’d better give them a squeeze so nobody takes them away!”“Well, we’d hate that now, wouldn't we?” I said, wrapping my arms around her back and hoping that I wasn’t going to make her uncomfortable. But she

Chapter 5
*Holly* It was all I could do not to think about him all weekend. Actually, I was sure I’d failed at it because every time I saw a man on the street or in a restaurant or sitting in the car next to me at the stoplights, I wondered if it was him. I found myself on two occasions wearing the same shoes I’d worn that night so I could compare my height to the men I walked by. I started to feel pretty pathetic about it, actually. It was just one kiss, after all. I was sure there were a lot of other people at the party who were in the same boat as me. The fire alarm was unexpected, to say the least, but being pulled away from him like that–it was like someone was trying to snuff out a Christmas miracle. I was angry at the person who’d pulled the fire alarm, for whatever reason they had. Since there was no reason, I assumed it was mischief, probably some high school kids thinking they were being funny. But because of the

*Patrick* Emily's was the last face I wanted to see. I'd been having such a good time with the other volunteers and the intriguing woman. I honestly hadn’t thought about Emily since before the Santa Claus Ball. I’d been too focused on trying to find my mistletoe match. I’d checked all three bakeries in the next town over to no avail. Of course, it didn’t help that I didn't have a description of the woman I was looking for. All I knew was she was about five-foot-nine in heels and she was between twenty-one and twenty-five per the Santa Claus Ball’s rules for the first round of the Mistletoe Mystery. I should have known that Emily was going to pop back into my life again after I decided to get back in the dating world. She and I had been broken up for a year now, but she still weaseled her way back to me at least once a month. She’d probably heard from one of my friend’s friends that I attended th

Chapter 7
*Holly* I was feeling a lot of things. Between seeing the snow fall outside my window, my sweet little Carol setting her paw on my foot, and the oh-so-many thoughts hissing in my mind about the last week, I could not focus on my homework. Memories of the velvet-suited mystery man kissing me under the mistletoe kept popping up between every sentence in my Information Literacy assignment. I had talked to both Abigail and Gretchen about it, because of course I had to. Gretchen kept asking if the mustache and beard combo had put a damper on it while Abigail was strangely silent about it. Yes, the mustache was there, and it may have been a little tickly on my top lip, but it didn’t ruin the kiss, not in the slightest. In fact, in my memories, there was no mustache. It was all floating candles and angels singing and fireworks exploding in the background. But, of course, that could have just been the adrenaline of making such a move.

Chapter 8
*Patrick*Bright and early on Saturday morning, I drove to Noel to help out in the toy drive, hoping I’d get to see my Mistletoe Mystery woman. It actually wasn’t the first time I had volunteered at this particular event. A few years prior, I had come here with Emily. At the time, I felt happy about her willingness to help children. But I’d taken off my rose-colored glasses since then, and looking back, it seemed more likely she just wanted to have five minutes of fame on the one-off television show that was covering the event. She’d only been there long enough to hold a kid in her lap while they asked her questions about volunteering and helping the needy. She’d spewed some lies about how she always adored kids and couldn’t wait to be a mother one day. She said she wished she were a bit older so she could consider adopting. Looking back, she only ever talked about herself. She didn’t even mention the kid, not even the one sitting on her lap. It was like that poor little five-year-o

Chapter 9
Holly The day started with a dream. I was standing in front of the biggest Christmas tree in town, the one in the center of the square, right outside the city courthouse. It looked a lot like the tree from the Santa Claus Ball. It was decorated with the same giant intricate Christmas balls, silver tinsel, and beautiful vintage ornaments. Red bows were tied all over it, and a giant crystal star shone at the top of the tree.This time, the mistletoe seemed to be floating in the sky. I was admiring it, and it began to snow. The snow was almost blue, and it sparkled as if enshrouded in magic. Then, something caused me to turn around. I came face-to-face with a man dressed in a red velvet suit, but his face was covered with a mask. When he spoke there was no sound, but I felt my heart begin to race as he leaned in toward me and gently placed a hand on my cheek. Just like that night, I rose up on my tiptoes and met the mystery man’s lips. I recalled the way I got so lost in it that it fe

Chapter 10
*Patrick*I wasn’t sure whether or not I wanted to admit that our outing was a date, but the longer we were together, the more it felt like it. I had found Holly especially beautiful tonight with her long auburn hair curled and her green eyes shining brightly with surprise. She had worn such a cute expression when I put the sash over her head and set the grad cap gently atop her hair. And when she thought that was all but the whole restaurant starting singing to her, the pink color of her cheeks alone warmed me, though the smile she wore really tugged at my heartstrings. I wondered if something else like this had ever been done for her before. When we talked about Christmas and shared some of our favorite memories, I felt like we could talk forever. And when we rode in the truck to the movie in silence, I wasn’t uncomfortable. I didn’t feel the pressure to keep up the conversation like I had felt in other situations. I hadn’t really known my intentions when I asked her if I could pl
