Saira Wright is a prominent black romance author signed to the most prestigious publisher of African American works, Brownstone Literature. Her career has been successful for the past five years, however, right now, she's in a slump, and so are her sales and reviews. The romance she has been known for seems to be zapped out of her stories and her love life.
Eager to get Saira back on top of the charts, her editor has given her an ultimatum--write a chart-topping holiday romance or be dropped from the publishing house. There's only one problem- Saira strongly opposes penning holiday books. To her, they are cliche and off-brand, but with her career on the line, she's forced to give it a shot. To capture the spirit of the holidays, she books a vacation in the most "Christmasy" town she can find.
Sharing the other side of her rented duplex is the owner, Dorian Black, a volunteer firefighter and the town's little league football coach. He's also Mr. December in the firefighter's annual fundraising calendar and every woman's dream. Years ago, Dorian was happily married to the love of his life until cancer took her away from him. Still coping with the loss, a romantic relationship is the furthest thing from his mind. When he encounters his new tenant for the holiday, sparks fly and a fire is ignited that not even he can extinguish.
As the two navigate through a series of encounters, holiday festivities, and a snowstorm, will the magic of Christmas help them rediscover a long-awaited connection?
