It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s everything but that for Anna Lopez. Not only have her parents disowned her, completely cutting her off, but her la ndlord is hiking her rent at the beginning of the year. With the New Year around the corner and her being on winter break, she has a few weeks to figure out a new game plan. Wishing for a Christmas miracle seems hard but not impossible, and she’s willing to do anything to make it happen. Until it happens in the form of a six-foot-four hockey player, who she doesn’t have fond memories of. King’s Yard University hockey star Sylas Lenoir Alves has everything anyone could wish for. However, there is one thing he’s not content with and wishes he could end: the need his mom has to pair him with a girl he has no interest in dating or ever marrying. Feeling overwhelmed with her insistence, he’s wishing for a miracle. Luckily for him, he quickly finds the answers to his problem, but it happens to be the girl who couldn’t care less who he is. While Anna wants nothing to do with the arrogant player, she can’t help but cave when he proposes something that would benefit both of them. Soon, they find themselves tangled in a lie, but that lie evolves into something neither one of them expected. Like how much they enjoy being in each other’s company or how hard they’re falling for each other. Show more
