She broke his heart three years ago. Now she needs him to pretend she didn't.
When Nora Chen's grandmother reveals a dying wish with impossible conditions - be engaged by New Year's Day or lose the family inn - there's just one problem. Gram has already told everyone that Nora's fiance is Theo Aldridge. The man Nora pushed away when he chose London over their future together. The man she never stopped loving.
Theo has his own reasons for agreeing to twelve days of pretending. Reasons that have nothing to do with guilt, and everything to do with unfinished business.
The rules are simple: No touching beyond what's necessary. No discussing the past. And absolutely no falling in love again.
But between the Christmas Eve snowfall and the New Year's Eve countdown, every rule starts to break. Old wounds resurface. Old chemistry ignites. And the line between performance and truth blurs beyond recognition.
Nora and Theo have twelve days to convince everyone - including themselves - that they've moved on. Twelve days of festive chaos, forced proximity, and the terrifying possibility that this time, they might be brave enough to stay.
The clock is ticking.
The countdown has begun.
Some deadlines change everything.
