Works in sequence
Snow Place Like Home is the first in the publisher’s sequence and presents a self-contained romance built around a Christmas wedding, family gathering, and return home. Readers who prefer a pretend relationship spanning Hanukkah and Christmas can begin with Merry and Bright.[1-2]
Those drawn to a Chicago neighbors-to-lovers setup can choose All Wrapped Up in You, and readers interested in a second-chance romance centered on a former engagement and a family holiday reunion can turn to You Better Not Pout. The four plots are independent, so none require earlier context.[1-4]
1. Snow Place Like Home
Snow Place Like Home (2025)[6] follows veterinarian Goldie Jacobs as she returns to White Cap Mountain after a painful breakup and prepares for her brother’s Christmas Day wedding. Her lifelong friend Ace Bonetti, now an actor planning to move home, reveals that their old mutual attraction never disappeared.[1]
As the publisher’s first-listed installment, the book establishes the collection’s format through a complete holiday romance centered on one couple and one celebration.[1]
2. Merry and Bright
Merry and Bright (2025)[7] pairs snack-company owner Miriam Brody with injured Giants lineman Cal Durand after they meet on a flight to Charleston. They agree to pose as a couple while navigating her family’s Hanukkah celebrations and his first difficult Christmas at home in years.[2]
The installment broadens the collection beyond Christmas alone by combining Hanukkah traditions, a pretend relationship, family pressure, and a romance shaped by grief.[2]
3. All Wrapped Up in You
All Wrapped Up in You (2025)[8] follows comedian Piper Sadler and emergency-room resident Scott Harrison, neighbors who have connected by text without realizing they already know each other in person. A misdelivered package, an ER visit, and a Christmas Eve lockout bring their separate encounters together.[3]
The book supplies the collection’s Chicago-set neighbors-to-lovers entry, using overlapping identities and a single holiday night rather than a family-centered celebration.[3]
4. You Better Not Pout
You Better Not Pout (2025)[9] follows former fiancés Juliana Silva and Eric Phillips as they pretend to remain engaged during a two-day family Christmas in Maryland. Their bargain over a Manhattan apartment forces them to revisit conflicts involving work, money, independence, and partnership.[4]
The installment gives the collection a second-chance romance built around an established relationship, distinguishing it from the earlier books’ new or long-delayed pairings.[4]
