Two Friends + Onstage Chemistry = Christmas Trouble Claire Downing is the last person to audition for the Sugarplum Falls’s notoriously bad town Christmas play. She's far too shy, and the holidays are the busiest time of year for her clothing boutique. Besides, the theater world belongs to her diva best friend. Claire's bestie's boyfriend, Owen Kingston, has no intention of trying out for the play, either—even if his diva girlfriend insists. The former construction company owner volunteers to build sets instead. Anything to keep her in town and not traipsing off to L.A. before he can figure out if he's serious about her. But when the future of the town play is in jeopardy, both Clair and Owen must face the stage and take a leap out of their comfort zones. While chemistry ignites on stage between the shy girl and her longtime friend, more than the play's future will come into question in this accidentally in love romance.
