Synopsis (Goodreads):
Olivia Mann has started over. After a rough divorce, she’s back in Christmas Grove with her dream job of running an enchanted inn. This season she’s hosting the cast of a popular television show while they film a holiday special. Everything is looking up, until her chef has an accident and is out of commission for six weeks. After struggling to find a replacement, she has no choice but to hire Declan McCabe… the man she hoped to never see again.

Declan McCabe is between jobs. His plan was to take a long vacation before starting his new five-star job in the city. But when his sister breaks her ankle, he’s strongarmed into helping her out. He’s now the head chef at Enchanted, a magical inn on the outskirts of Christmas Grove. The inn itself is full of spelled surprises and a handful of charming spirits. The only problem is his new boss, Olivia Mann. She’s both beautiful and the most irritating person he’s ever met… until she isn’t. All he wants to do is finish his time in Christmas Grove and move on, but when mistletoe is involved, suddenly he finds himself kissing the one woman he shouldn’t. And now Christmas Grove is starting to get into his bones. He’s going to need a little Christmas magic if he’s going to get the happily-ever-after he didn’t know he wanted.
Thoughts on A Witch for Mr. Mistletoe: We're back in Christmas Grove and this time we have a spirited inn, a film crew (and all the drama that goes along with that), a sexy chef, and a lady who wants to make her dream inn come true. And just to make things even more interesting, Olivia and Declan have a bit of history. Naked history. Brief naked history, BUT STILL.

So. To help out his injured sister, Declan steps in to run the kitchen at the inn. Which isn't a tough gig, except for that history thing between him and Olivia. To be fair, Olivia's desire to pretend like nothing happened has more to do with Declan being upfront about not wanting anything long term. I mean, the guy is adamant he doesn't want to settle down in a small town and Olivia is determined to put down roots. You can see where the friction comes in, right?

As it turns out, a couple of co-stars who are more lovers than enemies, a little holiday magic, and a lot of introspection have the two of them on the path to coupledom before too long. Sure, it's not a completely smooth road, but they get there. Eventually.
