While You Were Sleeping meets The Hating Game in this holiday rom-com about an idealistic café manager who agrees to be the holidate for a cold-hearted negotiator to prevent his firm from shuttering her business.
Melody Johnson's Christmas wish list:
1. Save her café from a corporate demolition.
2. Escape to Paris for a dream fellowship
3. Forget that Baz Johnson ever existed.
Baz Johnson's Christmas nightmare: His estranged family. In his life. For a week.
When Mel heroically saves Baz from an armed attacker (long story), he makes her an offer she can't refuse: fake-date him through the holidays, buffer his family's relentless meddling, and he'll save her café from the buyout he's been orchestrating.
It's blackmail. It's ridiculous. And It's Mel's only option to save the cafe and secure her future.
What starts as a fake relationship in the close quarters of Baz's apartment quickly turns into something more than just a game of pretend. And as Mel uncovers the heartbreak behind Baz's cold exterior, she's in danger of catching real feelings for him.
Falling for Baz means risking everything she's worked for. But the man who could take everything from her might be the one thing Melody can't live without.
