Mistletoe Falls Christmas Romance Series Book #4

When life gives you a candy shop inheritance, sometimes the sweetest surprise is the flannel-wearing lawyer who comes with it.

After years of dead-end jobs and cramped apartments with indifferent roommates, Megan Caldwell's world implodes in a single day—eviction notice, missed promotion, and the crushing realization that she's utterly alone. Then a phone call changes everything: her Aunt Phyllis has left her Sugar & Spice Candy Shop in the perpetually festive town of Mistletoe Falls, Tennessee, along with the building it’s housed in and enough money to start over completely.

What Megan doesn't expect is Kyle Porter—the ruggedly handsome attorney who practices law from the back of a Christmas shop and looks devastatingly good in flannel. Or the five devoted employees at the Sugar & Spice Candy Shop who are eager to teach her candy-making secrets. Or the warm Porter family who welcome her like she's always belonged. Most challenging of all, she never expected to find herself falling for a man whose patient love makes her want to believe in forever.

But Megan's history of abandonment runs deep. When everyone she's ever loved has left, how do you learn to trust that good things can last? As she transforms from survival mode to building a real life—mastering chocolate tempering, navigating small-town warmth and community, and discovering she's actually good at running a business—Megan must face her greatest fear: being vulnerable enough to accept the love, family, and belonging she's always craved.

Set against the magical backdrop of a year-round Christmas town, this is a story about second chances, found family, and learning that sometimes the life you never dared imagine is exactly the one you were meant to live.
