Twelve dates, twenty-four chapters, and a Christmas question

Set in London during December, the romance pairs Evie McClane, a New York journalist guarded after a breakup, with Jake Frost, who proposes twelve dates to challenge her dislike of Christmas. The dates—from ice skating to pub visits—give the courtship a seasonal framework, while Evie’s decision about whether to risk her heart is complicated by the distance between London and her life in New York. The hardcover’s 24 sealed, perforated chapters make the book an advent-calendar-style read, with two chapters for each date. Its premise combines a holiday romance with questions of post-breakup cynicism, opening up to love, and the uncertainty of a connection formed during a temporary stay.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of contemporary holiday romance.
  • For readers interested in a courtship organized around a series of dates.
  • For readers who enjoy advent-calendar-style book formats.

A love story waiting to be unwrapped


When burnt-out New York journalist Evie McClane escapes to London for December, she's determined to keep her heart and her expectations firmly guarded. Christmas is the last thing she wants to celebrate, especially after a breakup that's left her cynical.

Then she meets Jake Frost: charming, teasingly confident, and dangerously good at getting under her skin. He makes her laugh. Looks far too good in a tailored coat. And is convinced he can change her mind about Christmas, one date at a time.

What begins as a chance encounter turns into a deal: twelve dates to prove that Christmas, and maybe love, are still worth believing in. Ice skating under fairy lights. Mulled wine in candlelit pubs. Late-night walks and lingering touches, each date tempting Evie to open up just a little more.

As the days tick by, the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore. But with Christmas ending and an ocean between their lives, Evie must decide whether this was just a holiday fling... or something worth risking her heart for.
