Christmas at the Magnusson house is always chaotic, and Eli wants nothing more than to get through it unscathed-- but when an unexpected friendship turns into something more, this holiday season might just change everything.
***
For Eli Magnusson, the goal is simple: survive Christmas without letting all the mushy activities that come with the holiday rub off on him.
It sounds easy--after all, he's managed to do it for the past eighteen years of his existence--but it definitely isn't. He's never been a fan of the holiday, and the inevitable family drama only makes it much worse. As far as he's concerned, Christmas is just another day.
Unfortunately for Eli, thanks to his lovely mother and her talent for organizing family reunions, everyone is returning home for the holidays. Needless to say, he's bracing himself for the chaos and hoping--at the very least--that Christmas dinner doesn't end up in total disaster.
But when an unexpected twist appears--with striking golden-brown eyes and an undeniable spark between them--this twist might just shatter his firm resolve. Will Eli's plan hold strong or is he in for more than he bargained?
Buckle up for a holiday filled with laughter, love and One Big Magnusson Christmas to remember.
