About This Book
When travel nurse Ivy West isn't caring for patients, she's playing matchmaker for everyone around her — convinced she knows exactly what kind of man she needs, even if she hasn't met him yet. Then a charming minor league baseball player ends up in her ward, and her tidy plans start unraveling in the best possible way. Set against a cozy small-town Christmas backdrop, this story captures that particular tension between the life you've mapped out and the one quietly waiting for you — warm, funny, and just the right amount of swoony.
Becca Kinzer writes with a light, brisk touch that keeps pages turning without sacrificing the emotional moments that actually matter. At under 200 pages, the story never overstays its welcome — the pacing is tight, the banter crackles, and the holiday setting feels genuinely festive rather than decorative. What sets it apart is its self-awareness: Kinzer has fun with the matchmaking premise without letting it become a gimmick, grounding the comedy in characters who feel real enough to root for.
