My Favorite Holidate

Fable is the maid of honor at a Christmas Eve wedding, and her ex stands in the bridal party. She needs a date to get through the day without looking like she is still nursing a grudge.

Her boss, Wilder Blaine, is a billionaire and a single dad. He is the best man and needs a plus-one of his own. Rather than hunt for strangers, the two agree to pose as a couple for the whole holiday season.

The arrangement starts out practical. Then it picks up a holiday baking competition and long nights spent together, and the chemistry between them turns real in a way neither planned. The pretending begins to feel like something else.

This is a standalone romance that uses fake dating and workplace romance as its main setups. The tone is light and flirty, with a spicy streak and plenty of Christmas atmosphere.

The question hanging over both of them is what happens when the season ends and they are back at the same office on Monday morning.
