Rule #1 of directing: Never fall for your lead actor. Rule #2: See rule #1. I'm Chase, director of Christmas movies and master of self-control… until now. My latest film is about to flop hard. With my career hanging by a thread, I'm forced to fake-date my lead actor Ethan "Walking Temptation" Barrett. Cue a Florida holiday "vacation" with his oddball family, complete with a pet alligator. Between Ethan's perpetual shirtlessness and us sharing one bed, my ice queen reputation is melting faster than a frozen margarita on the beach. His touch sets me on fire, his sultry smile makes me weak, and suddenly, I'm forgetting all my rules. If we fail, I lose everything. If we succeed... I might lose even more. I'm Ethan, rom-com heartthrob with a reputation. Fake-dating my uptight director? Not exactly on my Christmas list. But if this doesn’t work, my holiday acting career is over. Her bossy attitude shouldn't turn me on this much, just like those rare smiles of hers that make my heart race. As Chase's prim facade cracks under the mistletoe, I'm discovering a woman who ignites me like no other. It’s supposed to be pretend, but there’s nothing fake about the way she moans my name in the dark. Now I'm determined to prove that sometimes, the best holiday magic can’t be scripted. This Christmas, all bets are off. This hilarious, fake dating story is a spicy, open door, enemies to lovers, reverse grumpy sunshine romance. Enjoy this “he falls first”, shares one bed, workplace romantic comedy. It features a tropical holiday aesthetic, and steamy situations in sunny, beachy Florida. Perfect for the holidays, and Christmas in July.
