Cecilia Elliott is unprepared.

For the cold temperatures. For the cozy cabin. For the welcoming Holbrook family. And especially for the easy-going, too-attractive-for-his-own-good cowboy she can’t stop thinking about.

But this is her life, at least for now, because the former child star was cast in a Christmas movie, and it’s filming at Copper Ridge Ranch in a small Montana town.

CeCe doesn’t have time for romantic distractions—not when she has an acting career to revive, a co-star the PR team wants her to pretend to date, and an uneasy suspicion that the life she’s been building for herself may not be the life she wants.

But Boone Holbrook is impossible to ignore. He’s charming, good-looking, and a friend to everyone. His golden retriever energy gives him an easy confidence that has CeCe rethinking her stance on relationships. Especially when she discovers he’s more than just a pretty face.

But good grief, is it ever a pretty face…

When Boone signed on as a consultant for a Christmas movie, he didn’t expect to be so drawn to the film’s star. But CeCe’s girl-next-door beauty—and her ability to match his wits toe-to-toe—has him wanting to make up reasons to get close to her even though he knows it can’t go anywhere.

Two people have never been more wrong for each other…

She’s a city girl. He’s a small town guy.
She’s a celebrity. He’s a cowboy.
She doesn’t do casual. He doesn’t do relationships.

Same planet. Two different worlds.

But every cozy, Christmassy day they spend together has them wondering… what would happen if those two worlds were to collide?
