Sophie hates cinnamon. Sophie hates waiting in long lines. Sophie really hates wasting seven dollars on hot chocolate she can't even drink.
So when her best friend Madeline convinces her to try the so-called "premium" Christmas market hot chocolate, Sophie's holiday spirit immediately melts-along with her patience. But as she secretly contemplates sabotaging the drink in the most festive way possible, Sophie doesn't realize she's being watched...
Enter a charming stranger, a potted Christmas tree, and a very, very sticky situation. Suddenly, Sophie's holiday season is turning out to be way more chaotic-and a lot more romantic-than she ever expected.
From accidental spills to awkward encounters, Sophie discovers that life isn't always sugar and spice and sometimes it's far more interesting when it's a little... not so nice.
