Mashed Hearts

MASHED HEARTS is a steamy Thanksgiving romance brought to you by USA Best Selling Author, Tarrah Anders, with old flames reuniting, forced proximity, and plenty of spice to make this holiday your new favorite.

Four years after high school and a bitter breakup, Kait Jamison and Josh Daniels are thrust together for a weeklong Friendsgiving vacation in the Smoky Mountains with friends.
Once high school sweethearts, Kait and Josh parted ways with unresolved conversations and hearts still rooted in the past.
Now, college seniors at rival schools, the forced proximity reignites familiar feelings. Through awkward kitchen chores, nostalgic board games, and late-night porch confessions, both must confront the true reasons they broke up—and whether anything remains worth fighting for.

With humor, heart, and the slow simmer of rekindled romance, Mashed Hearts is a story about timing, forgiveness, and the quiet courage of trying again. No third-act breakup here—just two people learning how to write their history with a little more maturity, vulnerability, and a whole lot of mashed potatoes.
