Its beginning to taste a lot like Christmas . . .

When Rocco Moretti gets the chance to buy a coffee shop in a small Illinois town, it feels like a miracle. And in true Christmas Falls tradition, Jolly Java is a holiday-flavored one.

He sets up shop and starts experimenting with recipes. The only problem? His changes go over like a piece of coal on Christmas morning. Instead of serving up cups of holiday cheer, hes getting a solid bah humbug vibe from the town.

He needs another miracle, stat.

Enter Deputy Mayor Taylor Hall.

With the town’s city manager retiring, Taylor is looking to make a leadership move, but his dream is melting because the city council still sees him as an outsider. He needs to prove hes in Christmas Falls to stay, and what better way than by getting a boyfriend?

Even a fake one.

Rocco needs the towns acceptance, so why not date the deputy mayor? Faking it till they make it will be a means to an end. Thats all.

But sharing the holiday season wins over more than the towns hearts. With each date, each mistletoe kiss, and every steamy night in front of the fire, it wins over theirs as well.

Come Christmas morning, theres really only one miracle Rocco wants under his tree.

For the love theyve been faking to become real.
