Hazel might be falling for the boy next door, and the timing couldn’t be worse—because she just hired a fake boyfriend. Hazel grew up with a flaky mom, a bunch of different dads, and a whole lotta baggage. She’s avoided romantic love like it’s old fruitcake—so despite overseeing countless epic romances as a professional stage manager, Hazel doesn’t know what it feels like to be in love. Now her grandma is dying, and all the sweet old woman wants is for her granddaughters to be in caring, stable relationships. Hazel will do anything to make sure her grandma’s last Christmas is perfect. Cue the fake boyfriend. Hazel’s shows always run smoothly due to her air-tight plans and schedules, but this one threatens to fall apart when her fake boyfriend goes off-script and shines a spotlight on Hazel’s terrible improvising skills. It doesn’t help that Grandma’s handsome neighbor, Matt Thatcher, is focusing so closely on Hazel’s new relationship. His attention makes Hazel feel things she’s never felt before. It’s terribly distracting. But the show must go on for Grandma’s sake, so Hazel’s gotta learn to improvise her way through this farce until she figures out if she’s in a love story … or a tragedy.

One little lie can spin so wildly out of control...and yet turn out so well. Scarlet’s grandmother wants her to bring her boyfriend home for what may be her grandmother’s last Christmas. Which wouldn’t be a problem…if Scarlet actually had a boyfriend. Scarlet’s sister came up with a bit of fiction to make Grandma happy in that regard. We all have boyfriends, Grams. Really, we're not going to waste our lives and die alone in a trailer full of cats. Scarlet would totally skip the fake boyfriend performance, but her cousin Jane is bringing her boyfriend to Grandma's too—and he’s Scarlet’s ex. Yeah. Her rich, arrogant, all too sure of his own charms, ex-boyfriend. That guy. There’s no way she’s showing up solo to face him. Scarlet is stuck, last-minute, with Liam, a man she’s never met and knows nothing about. Maybe it’s Liam’s extreme hotness that muddles Scarlet’s mind, but she has a hard time keeping certain facts straight—like his profession, and the fact that he’s not really her boyfriend…so she’s not supposed to kiss him. She needs to stay on her toes because not keeping her story straight will land her and Liam in all sorts of trouble.
