From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone who gave us A Merry Little Meet Cute comes a new festive romcom - 'tis the season for second chances!

Sunny Palmer has returned to Christmas Notch in search of some festive inspiration for her screenplay.

Isaac Kelly, former boy band heartthrob and the saddest boy in the music biz, is the latest owner of the town's historic mansion. What better place to attempt his first holiday album than a snow-covered mansion where he can become a hermit in peace?

But after they wake up together in Sunny's dilapidated motel room after a wild night, Isaac takes a chance and asks her to stay at his place and they make a deal: they will both try to get the other's creative juices flowing again.

With these two opposites under one roof, there's no way this jingle bell mingle could go off script...right?
