Book Club Read December: Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey

As December approaches, we’re wrapping up the year with a heartwarming, steamy romance that’s sure to get you in the holiday spirit! Get ready to fall in love with Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey, the perfect December read to keep you cozy, warm, and swooning all season long.

Here’s a little sneak peek of this steamy short story:

A Single Mom, A Gentle Giant, and A Christmas to Remember

Evie Crowe is starting over in a new town with her newborn, and she’s got zero interest in men. After a tough past, all she wants is to focus on her baby and her work at the local thrift store. But when the quiet, hulking farmer Luke Ward keeps showing up in her shop, things get complicated. His awkward charm piques her reluctant interest, but Evie is adamant about staying single—friends-with-benefits is all she’s willing to offer.

Luke, on the other hand, isn’t looking for a casual fling. The gentle giant is determined to win Evie’s heart and make this a Christmas she’ll never forget. Can he convince her that he’s in it for the long haul, or will she keep her walls up to protect herself?

In Merry Ever After, opposites attract in the most unexpected and sizzling way. With a farmer who can’t find jeans that fit and a woman starting over, this smoking-hot romance will have you swooning and laughing, all while wrapping you up in the warmth of the holiday season.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Opposites Attract: Evie and Luke are complete opposites—she’s guarded and independent, he’s patient and persistent—but their chemistry is undeniable. Their love story is sweet, steamy, and full of heart.

  • A Gentle Giant Hero: Luke is the kind of hero who’s impossible not to fall for. His quiet nature and devotion to Evie are exactly what she needs, even if she’s hesitant to admit it. He’s truly in it for the long haul.

  • Holiday Romance Perfection: This short story is part of Under the Mistletoe, a collection of sexy December romances, and it’s everything you could want in a Christmas romance—tender moments, a swoon-worthy hero, and just the right amount of heat to warm you up on a cold winter’s night.

If you're looking for a quick, steamy read that will leave you smiling and swooning, Merry Ever After is the perfect choice this December. We can’t wait to hear what you think about Evie and Luke’s journey to a happily ever after.
