The shoe Noah shucked off bounced off the wall behind him with a celebratory thud.

Author’s Note to the Reader

Dear Reader,

Here we are again at the end of another book. This was another one that I had no intention of writing, but you made me do it! You wanted Cat’s story after Mr. Fixer Upper, and I hope you enjoyed it. It combines some of my very favorite things: Christmas, enemies-to-lovers, heroes, and happily ever after.

I knew with Cat’s background she’d need to find someone who wasn’t impressed with her impressive career. She has enough people seeing her as just a celebrity or just another pretty face. And Cat isn’t the kind of girl to fall easily. So, it took Noah and his “rotting smorgasbord of asshole” to sweep her off her feet.

The flood scenes in this book were inspired by Houston as it was hit by Hurricane Harvey. I was so moved by the pictures and videos of hundreds of private citizens mobilizing to help that I wanted to pay homage to their bravery.

In the spirit of this story, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, a meaningful and happy holiday season however you choose to celebrate, and plans to make next year your best.

If you enjoyed Cat and Noah’s story, please feel free to leave a glowing review of awesomeness. Want to talk more about books? I’d love to have you in my readers group Lucy Score Binge Readers Anonymous. And if you’d like to get a heads-up on preorders and sales, please join my newsletter!

Thanks for reading. Thanks for being great.

Xoxo,

Lucy

P.S. My reader group made me leave the “mamma jamma” placeholder in the book.
