The Twelve Dates of Christmas: A Maple Ridge Novel

Every December for thirty-one years, Maple Ridge, Vermont has held the Twelve Dates of Christmas - a charity auction that pairs off twelve local singles for one date a night, straight through Christmas Eve, to fund the town's community center. This year, Junie Holloway is running it alone for the first time since her grandfather passed, the center's furnace just died, and the tree farm that's always donated its December proceeds is about to be sold out from under the whole town.

By the man holding the papers: Gray Sutton, back in Maple Ridge to close out his late uncle's estate - and the boy Junie almost kissed under the mistletoe when she was sixteen, a moment neither of them has mentioned since.

She needs him to keep the lot open through Christmas. She does not need to fall for him all over again in the process. Twelve dates, twelve nights, one furnace fund on the line, and a Christmas Eve reveal neither of them sees coming.

The Twelve Dates of Christmas is a warm, funny, small-town holiday romance about legacies worth saving, asking for help instead of carrying it alone, and the kind of second chance that was never really about a breakup - just one unfinished moment, twelve years overdue. Book One of the Maple Ridge series. Standalone HEA, closed-door, guaranteed happy ending.
