New York Times Bestselling author Denise Grover Swank writing as Rachel Thorne.
Snowflakes melt, but love in Hollybrook just might stick.
Finley O’Brien has two jobs, a mountain of debt, and exactly zero time for romance. Her Christmas plans include a steak-for-one, a grumpy cat, and While You Were Sleeping on repeat.
Alex King has a tech startup, a meddling family, and a major holiday problem: if he shows up to Christmas without a girlfriend, he’s doomed to a lumpy sofa bed with three sugar-amped kids.
When Alex makes Finley a wild offer—an all-expenses-paid trip to his family’s Vermont hometown in exchange for pretending to be his girlfriend—she knows it’s ridiculous. She also knows it’s everything her late mother ever wished for her: a real Christmas with snow, sleigh rides, and magic.
Finley is sweet, funny, and nothing like the women Alex usually dates. Playing pretend gets complicated fast when sparks start flying under the mistletoe. Suddenly, this fake romance feels anything but make-believe…
Snow Place Like Home is a heartwarming holiday rom-com filled with cozy small-town charm, laugh-out-loud banter, and all the Christmas magic you can handle.
