The Mistletoe Contract is my debut novel. I had so much fun writing Nate and Meredith’s story and hope you’ll enjoy it, too. Here’s a quick summary of my Christmas romance novel: Nate Rutledge is acting CEO of his family’s company but he needs a Christmas miracle. When Meredith Mitchell walks in his door to conduct a forensic audit, he firmly believes that God sent her as an answer to his desperate prayer. But Nate and Meredith have history. Eight years ago, Meredith fell in love with Nate but the only thing he gave her for Christmas was broken heart.
When Nate proposes a marriage of convenience, and she refuses. At first. But Meredith is in need of her own Christmas miracle. At first, they are at constant odds. But the more time they spend more time together, old feelings are rekindled. As Nate slowly breaks down the walls Meredith has built around her heart, she slowly learns to trust again. Is their modern-day marriage an answer to both their prayers or is it a disaster waiting to happen?
I love Christmas and Christmas movies. And so does Nate. Meredith, not so much. I needed to have places for Nate to take Meredith to on dates, to try to convince her that Christmas is a magical time of the year. One of those places in my book is a real, small town close to Charlotte, NC. McAdenville, NC is called “Christmas Town USA.” McAdenville was a small mill town and after those jobs left the USA, the town needed to do something to generate income. For as long as I’ve lived here in North Carolina, the town puts on a Christmas light display unrivaled in the area. Every house and building is strung with lights, some even have themed displays in their front yards. It’s gorgeous but now that everyone knows this small town is here, nestled between the North Carolina and South Carolina border, the car line to enter the town takes over three hours. Below are a few pictures of some of the lights.
Go to the book on Amazon at this link. What is the nickname of McAdenville, NC? When you have the answer, fill out this form and head on to the next blog!

Thanks for the link!
I have lived in NC for a little over 14 years now and have yet to get to McAdenville. I think this year may just be the year that I need to go. I love that this book is set in Providence, NC. For several years I lived in Yanceyville and attended the Providence Spring Fling.
Hi Jan,
Thanks for participating in the Scavenger Hunt! Actually, my town of Providence is fictional 🙂 I’ve located it close to Charlotte. And if you’ve never been to McAdenville, it’s simply beautiful during the Christmas season. Enjoy!
Thank you for such a fun scavenger hunt!
Misty – thanks so much for participating!
