Piper Fairway is Castle Hollow's last hope, which means they're kind of screwed.
With property developer Michael Landgrave trying to buy out the small-town center and pave it over, the town's best hope is their Christmas Committee revitalizing the old Christmas festival the town used to be famous for. Unfortunately, Piper is the only member of the committee.

But when aloof legal writer Lyra Simmons visits town to spend the holidays away after a breakup, and Piper invites herself as her welcoming committee, a new friendship-and an accidental fake relationship-might just save Castle Hollow.

If Piper can get herself together. Frankly, it doesn't seem likely.

The Christmas Committee is a 50,000-word small-town toaster-oven romance featuring fake dating, finding a sense of home, and Piper's family, which is kind of all that needs to be said about that. Content warnings for on-page sex, a cartoonishly obnoxious villain, and holiday tacos.
