When her boyfriend asks for a break right before Christmas, holiday-obsessed Celeste Brighton has to team up with lone wolf Sterling Holt to fake a relationship in hopes of saving her Christmas. --- Overachieving college student Celeste Brighton is excited to spend Christmas cozied up with her first love, Jared. Christmas has always had a special place in her heart, and she can't wait to share it with him. That is until Jared asks for a break... right before Christmas! With her plans--and heart--shattered, Celeste needs to find a way to get Jared back to recapture the perfect Christmas she had planned. But how? Guarded lone wolf Sterling Holt has never liked Christmas. He's never had one of those 'perfect' holidays like they do in the movies--all he's had is bad memories, and so he'd much rather keep himself distracted. When a distraction comes in the form of a brokenhearted girl begging for his help to get her ex back, it sounds too fun to refuse--until he learns that means becoming the Perfect Holiday Boyfriend. --- ✨ Rankings & Features The Wattys 2023 Shortlist Featured on Wattpad's Cozy (Hot) Reads Featured on @Romance #1 in #Xmas #1 in #Winter #1 in #ChristmasRomance #1 in #College #5 in #Holiday #5 in #Christmas
