Mistletoe on Main Street

Ruby’s Regulars #5

A magical sweet Christmas romance about lost love, second chances, and the holiday miracles waiting at Ruby’s Place.

Hard-nosed journalist Russ Keegan only wants to coast through the remainder of the holiday season, avoiding all the sentimental schmaltz. But his editor gives him one last-minute assignment: a Christmas investigation into Ruby’s Place, the mysterious supper club in Sullivan, Missouri. Locals whisper that on Christmas Eve, anyone who enters can see their long-lost loved one, share a table, hold their hand, tell them everything they didn’t have a chance to while they were still alive. Maybe I love you. Or I’m sorry.

For Russ, this isn’t just another story. He was in Sullivan the same night he lost the love of his life. Deep down, beneath his cynical exterior, Russ may still want to believe that the deepest love can survive anything. But doubts torture him. What if Josie is there, but bitter and angry? Or worse, what if he arrives at Ruby’s only to find that Josie is not there, and Ruby’s Place is a lie?

Despite his best efforts to take a detour, Russ winds up in Sullivan on Christmas Eve…where the town itself seems touched by something otherworldly. Suddenly, even Russ’s own memories seem untrustworthy. Certainties begin to crumble, and a new truth about his final night with Josie begs to be exposed. 

As the snow falls, will Russ find himself beneath the mistletoe? Will Ruby’s Place disappoint? Or will the secrets revealed this holiday season make for the most magical Christmas Eve of all?
