Tangled in Tinsel

When Ivy Winslow, a tea-brewing witch with a stubborn streak and a Maine Coon familiar, sets up her booth at Hollysin's annual Mistletoe Mischief Festival, she expects a cozy Christmas season filled with candles, cocoa, and holiday magic. What she doesn't expect is Theo Carter—the town's charming firefighter, devoted single father, and walking disaster magnet—or his six-year-old daughter, Sophia, who seems determined to play matchmaker.

Theo is used to running toward danger, but Ivy may be the one thing that leaves him completely off balance. Drawn to her quick wit, quiet strength, and the comforting warmth of her tea shop, he finds himself falling faster than he ever intended.

As festival events, late-night cocoa runs, and holiday traditions keep bringing them together, the sparks between them become impossible to ignore. When a snowstorm leaves them stranded in Ivy's candlelit shop, flirtation begins turning into something deeper. But Ivy isn't looking for complications, and Theo's heart has already survived one heartbreak.

With snow falling over Hollysin, holiday gossip spreading across town, and Sophia working overtime to help fate along, Ivy and Theo must decide whether love is worth the risk.

Filled with holiday charm, magical mischief, found family, small-town warmth, and plenty of heart. Mistletoe & Matches is a spicy Christmas rom-com about taking chances, opening your heart, and discovering that sometimes the best gifts arrive when you least expect them.
