A holiday dating show frames a story about performance and romance

Set at a fairytale theme park during a dating show, the novel brings Juliet Ripley and Garrick Walsh together in a relationship shaped by cameras and carefully maintained personas. Juliet helps run a show she regards as a sham, while Garrick’s role as a knight is part of a family business built around make-believe. Their attraction puts both characters’ ideas about authenticity and love under pressure. The setup connects the conventions of a televised romance competition with a Christmas-season, fairytale-inflected romantic comedy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in romantic comedy.
  • Readers who enjoy holiday romance and fairytale-inspired setups.
  • Readers interested in dating-show settings and behind-the-scenes romance.

Book overview

A dating show leads to real romance behind the cameras in this paperback original from the author of Enchanted to Meet You, perfect for fans of Lynn Painter, Jenny Han, and fairytale happily ever afters.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and cameras were rolling

But behind the scenes, for Knight Garrick was Juliet falling. . . .

Juliet Ripley knows that happily-ever-afters only happen in fairytales. So she agrees to help run a dating show, not bothered that it's all a lie.

Garrick Walsh is fake royalty, emphasis on fake. At his family's fairytale theme park, Garrick has spent his life pretending be someone he's not: shallow, flirtatious, a knight who breaks hearts instead of risking his own.

But when Garrick meets Juliet, their instant chemistry could melt even the chilliest of hearts. And soon they're each forced to confront what's fake--and what's heartbreakingly real.
