A cozy, small-town fake-dating Christmas romcom with warmth, humor, and slow-burn sparks.

When art teacher Emma Carlisle finds her fiancé lip-locked with a coworker four days before Christmas, she does what any humiliated, over-apologizing disaster romantic would do. She lies to her family and says everything is perfectly fine.

Spoiler: it is absolutely not fine.

Panicking, Emma downloads the classy dating app NorthStar, fully intending to find a picture to fake-send her sister. Instead, she finds Noah Harding-a tall, flannel-loving woodworker with ice-blue eyes, a gentle smile, and the kind of steady warmth a girl could fall for.

Desperate and a little delusional, Emma blurts:
"Will you come home with me for Christmas and pretend to be my fiancé?"

And Noah says yes.
So easily it almost feels like fate.

Now they're headed to maple-scented Maplewood, where Emma's festive, nosy family instantly adores Noah, the mistletoe is aggressively placed in every doorway, and every "fake" moment starts feeling dangerously real.

But when Emma's ex crashes into town to stir up trouble and the whole lie threatens to unravel like a fraying ribbon, Emma must choose between hiding behind pretend love... and admitting she may have found something real under the falling snow.

Perfect for fans of cozy towns, holiday magic, slow-burn chemistry, found-family vibes, and fake-dating that turns into real heart-melting romance.
Curl up, pour a mug of cocoa, and swipe right for mistletoe.

There are literal sparks flying in the air between us right now- I knew I was attracted to him at the tree farm but now that I've gotten to actually know him a bit better, and now that he's standing so close to me, that attraction has seemed to intensify. I give him a tight smile and shake my head. "Well, I think it's probably bad luck to break tradition...." ---------- December Writing Challenge 2020 piece! ~updating daily through December~ (photo of challenge and more info can be found in the conversations section of my profile!)
