May the Best Christmas Win

Solana Knight is accustomed to taking charge. This year, with her family traveling, she’s set on reinventing the town’s dreary Christmas “celebration.” Why should neighboring Smoky Mountain towns draw in tourists and economic opportunity while her beloved Sweet Tea, Tennessee, languishes? Solana launches a Christmas Committee, promising she’s open to all ideas…until her nemesis and secret high school crush returns home, brimming with festival ideas—infuriatingly on brand. It’s showtime.

Dr. Cian Galloway and Solana have a history. None of it peaceful. And he knows, absolutely, he should be a bigger man than to arrive home to help his gran after an injury and immediately poke holes in whatever pie-in-the-sky holiday plan Solana brews up like a cauldron of medicine everyone must swallow.

When a stranded travel writer and podcaster overhears their heated sparring, she playfully offers to referee—online—and soon the ‘enemies’ go viral, the town succumbs to matchmaking fever, and Solana and Cian wonder if their winner-take-all attitude is a loser. Can the biggest risk this Christmas be admitting they’ve been hiding their hearts?
