Iris has a plan: Go back to her small Montana hometown, pack up as much of her mom's stuff as will fit in a moving trailer, get rid of the rest, and be back in Seattle before Christmas. Funny how plans have a way of not working out. First was the fact that her parents had hoarded even more stuff since Iris had moved away eight years ago. Second, the drop-dead gorgeous neighbor next door was none other than Geran Marcantel, Iris's high school crush, now a single dad raising a small child. And third, Iris had completely forgotten how enchanting her small mountain hometown could be during the holidays. Geran is perfectly happy raising his son on his own; he hardly has time to remember what it feels like to be lonely. And then Iris Teague comes back to town, lovelier and more confident than the mousy schoolgirl he remembers. From day one she begins to push Geran's buttons, and not just the ones that evoke irritation. Now Geran wants to kiss Iris under the mistletoe, and he also hopes her arrogant, good-for-nothing boyfriend gets run over by Santa's reindeer. Mountain Christmas Mistletoe Kiss is a sweet romance about an independent woman, a sexy single dad, their quirky friends and family, and the most wonderful time of the year, all set in a little town with a lot of holiday cheer.
