Posted October 8, 2025

Romance Holiday

Becky isn’t as excited about going home for Christmas this year. She’s keeping a huge secret from her family, from her twin. She’s been giving the newly married Rosie space to spend time with her new husband. Becky’s also changed jobs, which makes her life harder. She never thought having her sister married would change everything between them. When the airport cancels her flight, she’s stuck traveling with her brother’s best friend. Will knows her deep, dark secret. Β Becky asks Will to come inside for moral support instead of just dropping her off. Inside, Becky tells a whopper of a lie that will change everything.

Becky’s not the only one hiding a secret; every family member has something they’re hiding. But like most secrets, they have a way of coming out at the worst possible time. Could this be a Christmas to remember or one everyone wants to forget?

Sarah Morgan’s newest Christmas tale, A MERRY LITTLE LIE, delves into the struggles of relationships as the children grow older. The Balfours have a chaotic Christmas. Everyone has the best of intentions, but nothing goes according to plan. This family drama is a cozy Christmas story that will tug at your heartstrings. Enjoy this book with a cup of hot chocolate and a couple of sugar cookies.

SUMMARY

This Christmas, the Balfour family will have more secrets to unwrap than presents…

Becky is stranded at the airport, so when she bumps into her brother’s best friend, Will, and he suggests they drive home together, Becky reluctantly agrees. For the first time, Becky is dreading Christmas, and only Will knows why. Can she trust him to keep her secret?

Her twin sister, Rosie, married Declan after a whirlwind romance, and now the cracks are starting to appear. Rosie and Declan have agreed to hide their problems from her family, but Rosie’s insecurities are growing. Will this Christmas bring them closer or drive them apart?

Hayley can’t wait for her first Balfour family Christmas with Jamie. The Balfour Christmas traditions sound wonderful, but she’s worried about her place in this close-knit family. Will there be room for her too? And how will they react to the secret she and Jamie have been keeping?

Despite everyone’s best intentions, all the chaos and confusion could derail their normally happy holidays. Can they tell each other the truth in time to enjoy a perfect family Christmas?
