Boughs of Holly

Holly Winslow knows how to make magic happen for others. As a plus-size, perfectionist event planner and the parentified eldest sibling, she's spent her life pouring herself into everyone else-her work, her family, her community-while quietly keeping her own walls firmly in place. But as the lead organizer for Westhaven's beloved Christmas Gala, Holly is determined to prove, yet again, that she can pull off the perfect event. When an interfering donor enlists Nick Callahan-a charming, creative vendor with ideas that clash with her meticulously planned vision-Holly finds her world of order thrown into chaos.

Nick Callahan is no stranger to challenges, but after a rough year that's tested his passion for his work, he needs the gala to reignite his spark. Holly, with her sharp edges and deep-rooted hesitancy to trust, proves to be as formidable as any logistical hurdle he's faced. As the two navigate late-night brainstorming sessions and unexpected mishaps, Nick sees beneath Holly's guarded exterior to the fiercely capable, quietly vulnerable woman determined to hold it all together.

Amid the snowy streets of Westhaven, where twinkling holiday lights frame small-town charm, Holly and Nick are drawn into each other's orbits alongside Holly's effervescent best friend, Emma. Friendships evolve, tensions rise, and hearts open in surprising ways as the three work toward creating the perfect holiday celebration.

Boughs of Holly is a heartwarming holiday romance that explores love, friendship, self-worth, and the unexpected magic that happens when you let someone in.
