<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OVERVIEW: He needs a girlfriend for his sister’s over-the-top wedding week. She needs a miracle for her struggling cafe. Now they’re pretending to date—and neither is ready for what comes next.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Scarlett never planned to fake date her brother’s best friend, Brendan Marco. But when the grumpy hockey coach needs a girlfriend for a week of wedding events, she suddenly finds herself playing the part at his hockey games and a long list of lavish family events.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In exchange, Brendan agrees to help her land the arena vendor contract that could save her cafe.<br>It’s the perfect arrangement—temporary, harmless,&nbsp;<em>and</em>&nbsp;completely fake.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Between a dreamy week at an extravagant estate and wedding week shenanigans, their pretend relationship starts to feel dangerously real.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Scarlett is determined to keep things professional, which should be easy,&nbsp;<em>right?</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Except Brendan Marco has always been her weakness—ever since that kiss they shared back in high school that neither of them has ever mentioned again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now he’s looking at her differently.<br>Not like a friend.<br>Not like a teammate’s sister.<br>Like she’s the best thing that’s ever walked into the room.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OVERVIEW: He&#8217;s allergic to Christmas. She practically bleeds tinsel.&nbsp;Their holiday collision is about to get complicated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Single mom Janie Bennett has one goal: pull off the perfect Christmas pageant for her kindergarten class. What she doesn&#8217;t need is the world&#8217;s grumpiest hockey player ruining her holly-jolly plans.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enter Rourke Riley, Mr. &#8220;I Hate Christmas&#8221; himself—who&#8217;s been sentenced to play Santa in her pageant and is determined to get fired from this nightmare before Christmas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Janie can&#8217;t let his&nbsp;<em>humbug</em>&nbsp;ruin her&nbsp;<em>fa la la,</em>&nbsp;so she calls his bluff with a Christmas challenge<em>:&nbsp;</em>if she can prove he’s secretly got some holiday spirit, he has to help her pull off the most magical pageant ever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if she loses? She&#8217;s wearing his jersey&nbsp;<em>and</em>&nbsp;going on a date with the grinch himself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To be clear: She&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>not</em>&nbsp;losing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not when her secret weapon is taking Rourke on a road trip to the most over-the-top Christmas festival in existence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Cue the holiday chaos.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Between an unexpected snowstorm, sharing a one-bedroom cabin, a hockey team text thread gone awry and a mistletoe kiss that&#8217;s life-changing—suddenly, winning doesn&#8217;t matter anymore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Turns out, the holidays are full of surprises. But her falling for the grump—<em>and</em>&nbsp;his jersey?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>It’s the biggest complication of the season.</em></p>
