Patty Murphy's life used to be perfectly organized—until it all unraveled. Newly single, jobless, and stuck in her hometown for the holidays, she's ready for peace, quiet, and zero distractions.

Enter Cade Cross. Single dad, chaos incarnate, and the complete opposite of everything she thought she wanted.

When Cade's son asks Santa for a new mom, Patty finds herself caught in a Christmas whirlwind of baked goods, snowstorms, and stolen glances that feel way too cozy.

He's spontaneous and messy. She's meticulous and guarded. But maybe love isn't about checking all the boxes. Maybe it's about finding someone who fits where you least expect.

Peppermint Patty is a short, steamy holiday romance featuring a curvy perfectionist, a hot single dad, and the kind of Christmas magic that's impossible to resist.
