Under the Mistletoe with My Brother’s Best Friend

Dear Romance Reader,

Some love stories start with a spark.

This one began with a scandal—and a kiss under the town’s biggest mistletoe arch.

Under the Mistletoe with My Brother’s Best Friend is a story of small-town gossip, fake smiles, and one very real connection that refuses to stay hidden.

Grace Parker was never supposed to fall for Eli Cooper.

He’s the sheriff. Her brother’s best friend. The man who once promised to protect her, not want her.

But when her ex comes back to town and the whispers start flying, Eli does the unthinkable—he offers to be her fake boyfriend. Just until Christmas, he says. Just to silence the rumors.

Except nothing about the way he looks at her feels pretend.
Snowed-in nights, stolen touches, a secret that could destroy everything they’ve built…

This story is about courage wrapped in tinsel—about learning that love isn’t weakness, it’s the bravest thing of all.

It’s cozy, steamy, a little messy—and full of Christmas magic.
I can’t wait for you to meet Grace and Eli this December.

With love,

Maya Cullens 💕
