She faked the engagement. He faked indifference. The town believed in both.
When Natalie’s nostalgic holiday post goes viral, she’s forced to return to Maple Hollow with one goal: salvage her PR career and survive the season. But the town has other plans—starting with a fake fiancé storyline starring her ex, Jake Hale, the brooding carpenter who never quite stopped mattering.
Jake agrees to play along for the sake of the festival, the town, and maybe his own heart. But as snowstorms trap them, mistletoe misfires, and old wounds resurface, their pretend romance begins to feel dangerously real.
With gossip swirling, a kissing contest looming, and a carved ornament that might just rewrite their story, Natalie and Jake must decide: is this a holiday performance… or the beginning of something true?
