Something’s coming. And it involves a man.

New age shopkeeper Sybil Richardson loves Christmas – she just doesn’t like the impossibly sexy, incurably grumpy professor who’s come to the tiny town of Danbury, Vermont to debunk all her dearly held beliefs. She doesn’t like his suspicious nature, and she sure as hell doesn’t like the fact that he makes her dissolve into a puddle of lust no matter how much he annoys her.

Nick Fitzsimmons thinks most new age beliefs are nonsense. He has no need to linger in a one-horse town with no cell service and unreliable wifi, but for some reason, he can’t make himself leave the ridiculously gullible woman who is trying so hard to get rid of him.

Christmas is coming, and he knows what he wants under his tree. He just has to convince Sybil that she wants him, too.
