Levi Dearborn, handsome heir to a ranching family fortune, knows exactly what's expected of him. Get married, take over the family business, and spend his days working the cold plains of Montana. It's not the life he wants, but the one he seems destined for. But when everything goes wrong one fateful Thanksgiving, he skips town to start over in New York City.
Zara Mitchell is building an empire. The makeup line she started with her best friend while they were still in college is now worth millions. But that's left her precious little time for anything else, including her long-term relationship that her fed-up boyfriend ends over the phone in the middle of her Black Friday sale. Even though she's not that broken up about losing the guy, she's stressed about attending the biggest fashion industry party in the city, one that could make or break the future of their business, and she already said she was bringing a date.
After a messy chance meeting in a coffee shop, Zara learns that Levi might just hold the key to landing the celebrity brand ambassador her business needs. Determined to close the deal, she invites Levi to the party. As they get to know each other in the run up to the event, sparks fly. But when complications and revelations start to swirl like snowflakes, will their holiday romance make it to the new year?
A White Lie Christmas
There's no place like home for the holidays, right? Not for Juliana, a doctoral student who's dreading the endless chatter about her golden child younger sister's wedding that awaits her there. In a last minute effort to ditch her family's celebration, she tells a little white lie about spending the holiday with her non-existent boyfriend, and heads back to her empty apartment.
... Except it's not so empty, thanks to her roommate promising the place to a childhood friend. Chris hates Christmas and wants nothing more than to spend it forgetting the fact that he's got no one to share it with. But that plan seems destined for failure when Juliana shows up, no idea Chris would be there, and with every intention of showing him the door.
When Juliana's mom calls with the 'good news' that the family has decided to come visit her in Boston for the holiday, Juliana needs to manufacture a boyfriend, and fast. Luckily, Chris is right there in the next room, and Juliana has a proposition for him. She'll let him stay 'til Christmas... as long as he agrees to be her fake boyfriend in front of her family. A guarded and grieving Chris is initially reluctant to say yes, but something about Juliana has him agreeing to this absolutely ridiculous arrangement.
Thrown together by fate and faking it, these two just might discover that what they really want for Christmas is each other.
