A Boyfriend by Christmas : A Small Town Holiday Friends to Lovers Romance (The Evergreen Brothers Book 1)

This Christmas, she wants Mr. Right—but the boy next door who broke her heart might be the only one who can save her holiday dream.

Lucy Adams has one Christmas wish: to find her perfect match and marry at the gazebo in Melody Square Park—just like her late parents did. As a photographer who captures everyone else’s happily-ever-afters, she’s determined to create her own picture-perfect ending before the holiday season ends. There’s just one snag in her plan. Scrooge, aka Carter Evergreen, plans to demolish the park. She needs all the mistletoe she can muster now that her goal has an expiration date.

Lucy has always been the girl next door—literally—and the one that got away. If she wants to find her true love, Carter’s happy to provide dating advice if she’ll be his plus-one at business functions. And to sweeten the pot, he’ll consider her ideas to save the park, too.

But Carter also knows the property is unstable and repairs are too costly. As they grow closer, he’s willing to do anything to save this holiday season for her—except grant her what she wants most. Can their partnership build the real foundation they need to create a magical future?

Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Robyn Carr who love small-town Christmas romances where childhood connections bloom into forever love.
