The Journalist:
Juliana Campbell sees the world as fact vs. fiction. It’s how she writes her articles, and the only way she can make sense of the unbelievable turn of events.
FACT: Juliana wants a family Christmas. Her sister’s eight-year estrangement from their father needs to end, and she’s determined that this is the year.
FICTION: The A-List movie star that she interviewed is actually interested in her. Impossible. Grayson Moore didn’t just show up in her small town in Georgia. He also didn’t ask her out on a date.
Accepting a date from Grayson may jeopardize her plot to bring her sister and father together for the family Christmas she’s dreamed of.
But maybe…she can have one date in secret.

The Movie Star:
Grayson is intrigued by Juliana. Ever since the unusual interview in the elevator with the small-town journalist, she’s been in the back of his mind. Finding out she’s from the same town as his friend makes the flight to see her a no-brainer.
He’s not interested in celebrating Christmas. The songs and decorations are just reminders of the family he’s never had…and he doesn’t want. Juliana’s dysfunctional family confirms that he’s better off alone.
But he wants Juliana. One date is all he asks for, but staying around for two weeks, until he’s due to report to Australia for his next film, is worth enduring the town’s holiday spirit to see her.
Seeing Juliana realize her dream of a family Christmas makes the risk to his heart worth it.
