The Four Leaf

Samantha helps run her family's Boston inn, the Four Leaf, alongside her sister. When Adrian — a childhood friend she grew up with, now a professional rugby player — comes back into her orbit, the easy familiarity between them starts shifting into something neither of them planned for.

Jacquot writes in dual POV, leaning into banter and quick emotional intimacy rather than a long slow burn; this is the second entry in the Holinights novella series and reads as a standalone holiday-set romance. The book is explicit and aimed at readers who want a shorter, spicier read.

As a novella, The Four Leaf moves fast — friends-to-lovers chemistry, a compressed timeline, and a low-conflict path to its happy ending.
