About this book
She needed a fake boyfriend for one Christmas. She grabbed the grumpiest man in Vermont. Poppy Lane runs the coziest cocoa shop in Juniper Ridge, chairs the holiday market, and has never once admitted she isn't fine. Then her ex strolls back into town engaged, with an invitation to their Christmas engagement party and a pitying little head tilt. So Poppy panics, throws her arms around the nearest man, and announces he's her boyfriend. The nearest man is Beck Callahan: six-foot-three of flannel and bad temper, a Christmas-tree farmer who hates Christmas. He should walk away. Instead he names his price. He'll play her doting boyfriend until midnight on Christmas Eve if she helps save his failing farm. Rules are written. Hand-holding allowed. Kissing only if absolutely necessary. No falling in love. Then a blizzard traps them together on the mountain. Three days, one woodstove, no power, and one very small couch. Somewhere between the snowball fights and the molasses cookies, the fake part stops being fake. But Beck is hiding the one secret that could cost him the farm, and Poppy has never trusted anyone to stay. A cozy, swoony, laugh-out-loud holiday romance with: Fake dating with a signed list of rules; Snowed in during a blizzard; Grumpy tree farmer, sunshine cocoa-shop owner; A small town that meddles with love; A Christmas Eve grand gesture to melt your heart. Closed door. Happily ever after guaranteed.
