Set amid the twinkling lights of a snowbound Utah ski town, one woman’s quest to win back her ex leads her instead to a future she didn’t know was possible.
Sometimes the route to love is the one you never planned.
It’s the holidays, and Alaina has just been dumped. Determined to have a romantic Christmas, she sets out on a cross-country road trip to surprise her ex-boyfriend and convince him she’s the one. But her plans are derailed when she drives straight into a snowbank. She’s rescued by Priscilla, a terse, unsmiling bookstore owner with zero interest in holiday cheer. Stranded, with her car out of commission, Alaina makes a bucket list of festive adventures to make her ex regret his decision, and to her surprise, Priscilla offers to join her.
Alaina’s plan goes off without a hitch—except that the more time she spends with Priscilla, the less she’s sure of what, or who, she really wants. A heartwarming sapphic romance packed with small-town cheer, A Very Merry Detour explores how true love always makes room for our most authentic selves.
“Every page sparkles with holiday magic. A Very Merry Detour is a reminder of everything that’s special about Christmas and a love story that shows what’s possible when we open our hearts and take a leap of faith.”—Rachel Wood, author of Annie Knows Everything
“The perfect holiday treat, with all the marshmallowy whimsy and comforting warmth of hot cocoa . . . It’s your favorite Hallmark movie with a bisexual twist.”—Susie Dumond, author of Bed and Breakup
“A beautiful love story that celebrates found family, second chances, and choosing a life that’s truly meant for you.”—Emily Zipps, author of Alice Rue Evades the Truth
