Mat Talk and Mistletoe
JC Savoy

Speech therapist Valerie Blanchard came to Whispering Falls to find her footing again, not to fall for the town’s grumpiest wrestling coach, who’d rather wrestle a blizzard than warm up to her therapy talk. But when a snowstorm traps her in a gym overnight with Thane Upshaw, her steady calm and his quiet strength collide in unexpected ways.
Between vending machine dinners, heartfelt confessions, and a flurry of winter moments, Valerie starts to see past Thane’s bark. As small-town Christmas magic swirls and a teen wrestler finds his voice with Valerie’s help, the walls around Thane’s heart begin to crack.
But with past regrets and stubborn pride between them, will these two opposites find a way to meet under the mistletoe—or let their chance at something real melt away with the snow?
A cozy, slow-burn holiday romance full of warmth, wit, and a love that proves steady can still sweep you off your feet.
