The Merry Wish
One artist. One mayor. And a Christmas wish that could change everything.
Grace Merriman came to Hollyvale to help her sisters save the family inn—and rediscover the creative spark she'd lost in the city. She never expected to stay. And she definitely didn't expect to fall for Noah Callahan, the town's serious, buttoned-up mayor.
Noah has spent years serving his community, putting duty before desire and logic before dreams. But when Grace's chaos and color crash into his world, he starts to wonder if maybe there's more to life than following the rules.
As Hollyvale prepares for its magical Wishing Tree Festival, Grace and Noah find themselves drawn together in ways neither can explain. She teaches him to embrace spontaneity. He shows her that putting down roots doesn't mean giving up freedom. And together, they discover that some wishes are worth believing in—even the ones that seem impossible.
But with Grace's life in New York waiting and Noah's responsibilities anchoring him to Hollyvale, they must decide if love is enough to bridge the distance between their two very different worlds.
Heartwarming, whimsical, and filled with small-town magic, The Merry Wish is a story about dreams, destiny, and the courage to follow your heart home. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Nancy Thayer, and RaeAnne Thayne, this final book in the Christmas in Hollyvale trilogy proves that the most beautiful wishes are the ones we make together.
"A perfect ending to a perfect series—magical, romantic, and utterly enchanting!"

Beautiful. wish there was more.
Such an amazing, sweet story to wrap up and end the trilogy. Really wish there was a fourth book. But who knows, maybe if I write my wish on an ornament and hang it from a branch on a great big tree……it might come true!
