Deck the Palms

Annabeth Albert

Nolan Bell has a very Merry problem this holiday season… As a native New Yorker, I’ve always dreamed of my name in lights on Broadway. But when my Army officer brother calls in a favor, I wind up in Hawaii to help his family while he’s deployed. A winter in paradise doesn’t sound too bad until I become the substitute choir teacher at a middle school near the base. Wrangling a bunch of tweens while planning the annual school holiday lights festival is a far cry from playing Peter Pan. Enter Merrick “Merry” Winters, the school’s grumpy but hot shop teacher. I can win over any audience, but Merry’s a tough sell. And I need his help to make the festival successful. The more time I spend with Merry, the less grumpy he seems, and the more I like the guy. He’s the third generation of a legendary North Shore surfing family. He’s committed to raising his twin boys on the island as a single dad. And like me, he doesn’t have time for an inconvenient but undeniable attraction. As disasters pile up, the only holiday magic Merry and I seem to be making is with each other. What starts as a harmless fling becomes the only present I want under my tree. If I want this romance to last past New Year’s, I have to decide which dreams are truly worth chasing. Can Merry and I catch a wave for a future together before the sun sets on this holiday season? Duration - 7h 13m. Author - Annabeth Albert. Narrator - Lance West. Published Date - Friday, 10 January 2025. Copyright - © 2024 Annabeth Albert ©.
