Snow, steam, and a second chance. Reluctant socialite Kai has thirty-five days before his family starts shooting the next season of their reality TV show, revealing a life he'd rather keep private--and one that feels increasingly scripted. Desperately needing a break, Kai escapes to his childhood best friend Hiro Asada's inn in rural Japan. He finds peace in the thousand-year-old hot springs, but his yearning for Hiro resurfaces at the worst time: Hiro is about to inherit the inn, and his parents expect him to marry within the year. Hiro's traditional family loves him for who he is, but they can't imagine two men running the inn. Meanwhile, Kai has a TV contract his lawyer insists can't be broken. Hiro and Kai need to think outside the box--and solve their problems before Christmas Day, when Kai's show shoots its annual holiday special.
