In this charming small-town Christmas rom com by award-winning author Becca Kinzer, a travel nurse who loves to play matchmaker gets a taste of her own medicine when her friend conspires to set her up with a minor league baseball player.
If there's one thing travel nurse Ivy West prides herself on, it's her matchmaking skills. She's even convinced she knows her own perfect type, a man who, unlike her parents, isn't traveling the country for the sake of a career. It doesn't matter Ivy hasn't met him yet. She's sure she will in a few years. At least, it's one of her goals. Then Beau Wall-a minor league baseball player with his sights set on the big leagues-lands in the hospital, and there's an undeniable spark between them. No need to worry. Ivy will just match him up with her friend Lucy, and she won't be tempted to date him herself.
A few months later, Ivy's convinced everything's gone perfectly when she hears Lucy's engaged. But when Ivy arrives to spend Christmas in Iowa and celebrate the engagement, there's one little problem. Lucy has set her up. Sure, Lucy's engaged, but not to Beau. And Beau isn't about to lose this unexpected shot at winning Ivy over. Neither are his mom and grandma who also try to throw the two together.
Amid twinkling Christmas lights and hours spent watching holiday movies, Ivy finds herself falling for Beau. Maybe it's time she ditched her plans . . . because it's looking like Beau might be her perfect match after all.
