It's December 23rd, and while everyone else is heading off for the holidays, career-focused Leesa Oliver would rather be at her desk than making small talk over turkey. To her surprise, her equally ambitious boss, Cary Anderson, isn't thrilled about his own Christmas plans at his family's country estate either.

On a whim, they strike up an unlikely agreement: they'll spend half the holidays with each other's families, pretending to be a couple. The deal is all business—until it isn't. Leesa assumes that having the infuriatingly handsome Cary by her side will make family gatherings easier. But as the snow falls and fairy lights twinkle, something between them starts to feel just a little too real…

Leesa thought she was signing a practical contract, but somewhere between Christmas carols and cozy nights in, the lines blur. Maybe, just maybe, there's a little holiday magic at work—and something special waiting under the mistletoe.
