Mistletoe Hearts by Elle Linder

A single kiss changes everything.

After she is laid off from her dead-end job, Cherish Hart is directionless, but that isn’t anything new. She has felt incomplete and alone her whole life. The holidays only make it worse. But nothing lifts her spirits more than a visit to see her relatives in Idaho. When she shares a searing kiss under the mistletoe at her cousin’s Christmas wedding, it is the icing on the cake. The week she has with him is almost enough to erase the dread of going back home to Nebraska. Almost…

Duke secretly envies his friends’ marriages. He wants what they have…the love of a good woman, maybe a child or two. But at thirty-three, he has about given up hope of finding “the one.” When he locks lips with a gorgeous brunette under the mistletoe, his life is about to turn in a direction he didn’t dare dream. The enchanting Cherish Hart is “the more” he secretly desires.

Cherish believes a short fling is all they will have together—five days of bliss. But Duke has other plans in mind. He also has the whole Hart family cheering him on.
