A Husband for the Holidays

Emily King has until Christmas to find a husband.

Her grandmother’s will is clear. If Emily isn’t married by Christmas, the iconic family candy shop will pass to Meinhold Industries, the very developer threatening to destroy it. Losing the shop would mean losing her grandmother’s legacy.

Mayor Matt Preston has a problem of his own.

At thirty-two, he’s the youngest mayor in town history. He knows that if the developer gains control of Emily’s property, it won’t just mean losing the candy shop. It could set off a chain reaction that changes all of Cranberry Ridge forever.

Emily’s solution? Simple. Temporary. Strategic.

Marry the mayor.

With the future of Cranberry Ridge on the line, even the town’s most straight-laced mayor has to admit Emily might be onto something.

A marriage license. Shared living quarters above the candy shop to make it believable.

It’s only for appearances.

Until stolen glances start feeling real.
Until late-night fudge-making turns into laughter and lingering touches.
Until “for the town” becomes something much more personal.

But when the developer begins digging for proof their marriage is a sham, Emily and Matt face the true Is it wrong to fake a marriage if it could save the town they love? Especially when what started as an act begins to feel suspiciously like the real thing.
