The Sheriff’s Mistletoe Bride by Debra Holt

Posted October 13, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Modern Western Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Tule Publishing / 0 Comments

It’s not the typical Christmas plan…

Ally Jones made a deathbed promise to her friend who’d given her a home and shelter since she was a teen. When the older woman finally succumbed to cancer, Ally would take her ashes and spread them on a special spot in Destiny River, Texas. Still grieving, she and her canine companion leave New York City, weeks before Christmas, never anticipating that the town she’d heard so much about for many years could sprinkle seasonal magic that would change her life. And then, in a heartbeat and squeal of worn brakes, Ally’s life spins in a new direction.

Widower Sheriff Matthew Parker and his daughter, Jillie, are fine, despite the conviction of his small town’s female population that he must be in search of a wife. He’s not. His sister jokes that he should hire a fake fiancée for Christmas. Not funny. Then he witnesses a horrific car accident, and when he pulls the victim free and gazes into her stunning eyes, he sees an unexpected future.

Destiny? Impossible. How can fate unfurl happy-ever-afters for two non-believers?

Emily’s quick humor, warmth, and golden eyes make Tucker forget his own name, but he’s all too familiar with the realities of police life, and the last thing he intends to do is fall for a cop….

US Marshal Cassie Parker excels under cover. When her boss sends her to Red Cliffs, Texas, to keep tabs on the criminal mastermind she’s been hunting for three years, she jumps at the chance. But convincing the irritatingly handsome rancher, Cole Connors, to play along might be her hardest mission yet.

When the threat is over and Cassie’s assignment ends, can their make-believe engagement become something real?

Tash and Imo decide the only way to break my curse is to have my first-ever one-night hook-up – strictly no relationship agendas allowed. Then they spot the perfect candidate – all broody bad boy vibes and shoulders to die for – sitting at the bar alone.

Armed with the cheesiest chat-up line ever invented (gee, thanks, Tash and Imo) and one too many pomegranate daquiris, I decide to go for it… What’s the worst that could happen?

Um, quite a lot actually, when Cal turns out to be the world’s hottest kisser (yup, that cheesy chat-up line actually worked!), but I pass out on his sofa and wake up the next morning with the world’s worst hangover and no idea if we broke my curse or not.

One major misunderstanding and a touch of life modeling later, and Cal finally breaks my Valentine’s Day curse, for real…
