When 20-year-old Chioma takes a holiday job as a live-in cook and cleaner for the illustrious Badmus family returning to Nigeria for Christmas, she expects long days, not a brush with stardom. But everything changes when she meets Omotayo "Tai" Badmus-the family's golden boy and a rising football star. As sparks fly beneath the twinkle of holiday lights, Chioma is torn between the thrill of their growing connection and the fear of becoming just another passing fling in Tai's glittering world. With a dysfunctional family demanding more than she can give and a heart she's not sure she can trust, Chioma must decide what she's willing to risk-for love, for herself, and for a Christmas she'll never forget.
