Mistletoe & Muddy Paws

This Christmas, love and second chances arrive on four paws.

Emma Leigh Carter has devoted her life to Holly Ridge Animal Rescue, caring for abandoned dogs with a heart as big as her determination. But with bills piling up and the county threatening to shut the shelter down before the New Year, Emma fears she may lose the place she loves - and the furry friends who rely on her.

When burnt-out city attorney Luke Harrison inherits a rundown farmhouse in Holly Ridge, he plans a quick visit - just enough to sell the property and return to his busy life. But fate has other plans. A lost litter of foxhound puppies leads Luke straight to Emma, her muddy truck, and a whirlwind of winter wonder he never expected.

Together, they rally the town, save the shelter, and discover that sometimes the greatest gifts come when you least expect them. Between twinkling lights, cozy barn fundraisers, and stolen kisses under the mistletoe, Emma and Luke learn that love - like a rescued pup - thrives when given a second chance.

Filled with festive charm, wagging tails, and heartwarming romance, Mistletoe & Muddy Paws is the perfect holiday story for anyone who believes in miracles... and happily-ever-afters.
