The Merry Promise
One town. One promise. And a second chance she never saw coming.
When Hannah Merriman agrees to help her sisters run Hollyvale’s annual Christmas Market, she tells herself she’s only staying a week. But when the town matchmaker pairs her with cider vendor Luke Bennett, her high school sweetheart and now a single dad, Hannah’s perfectly managed life starts to unravel like a strand of Christmas lights.
As they work side by side under twinkling lights, old sparks rekindle, laughter returns, and Hannah starts to see the town—and her sisters—through new eyes. But with her career calling her back to the city and Luke’s roots firmly planted in Hollyvale, Hannah must decide if love and family are worth risking it all.
Heartfelt, funny, and filled with small-town charm, The Merry Promise is a story of forgiveness, family, and the quiet courage it takes to open your heart again.
Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Nancy Thayer, and RaeAnne Thayne, this second book in the Christmas in Hollyvale series proves that some promises take years to keep — and love is always worth the wait.

Just like drinking a warm coco or a sweet cappuccino, this story is very predictable, yet still does the trick! A simple read to make you smile during the holidays. Will continue to book 3 just to finish the series and see where these characters land.
