A candy cane-filled, enemies-to-lovers, festive fake-dating romance to spice up everyone's stockings this Christmas . . .

As his fellow citizens decorate their quaint town, brimming with carols and glad tidings, Cole wants nothing more than to hibernate the winter away. But his dreary plans are thwarted when his nemesis, Storee Taylor, moves in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy.

Immediately his new neighbour turns his world into a real-life nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decides to enter the town's Christmas Kringle contest - which she's determined to win.

But Cole's got other ideas in mind. Entering the competition himself, he's planning to beat Storee at her own game by pretending this grump's heart has grown three sizes this season, and he's fallen for the girl next door.

But the competition isn't the only thing that's starting to heat up - so are Cole and Storee's feelings for each other. Before they know it, things are starting to get very complicated, and all it takes is one night for someone to steal it all...
