About the Book

🎄 A Holly Jolly Twist of Fate 🎄

Renee Magee has a strict Christmas tradition: one whirlwind 24-hour visit home on Christmas Eve, then back to her big-city life. But when she quits her job in early December (don’t ask) and her sister Claire breaks her leg, Renee’s quick trip turns into an extended stay—complete with couch-surfing and elf duty for the town’s Twelve Holly Days of Christmas.

Luke Woods was supposed to co-host the festivities with Claire, a welcome distraction from the emotional weight of caring for his ailing father. Instead, he’s paired with Renee—Claire’s opinionated, career-focused sister who’s counting the days until she can leave Minier behind.

Renee’s got no time for small-town charm, community events, or falling for her sister’s friend. But as twinkle lights glow and snowflakes fall, she starts to wonder: maybe the best gifts aren’t wrapped under the tree…maybe they’re found where you least expect them.k

About Kassey Kimberley

Kasey Kennedy is an Illinois gal through and through. She grew up in Central Illinois, finished college at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and soon after, moved to Chicago. She’s been in Chicago or the surrounding suburbs ever since.

Kasey is happily married to her husband Tim and loves nothing more than spending time with him - especially when that involves live music! If not attending a live show, they usually enjoy evenings on the deck, listening to music; visiting their large families; watching movies; or planning their next trip.

When not dreaming up new characters and stories, Kasey is reading or planning what to read next. Occasionally, she pulls out the guitar she has been trying to learn for 30+ years and strums enough to annoy her cat, Pepper.

Hope you enjoy Happy Holidates
