Stella Bloom stares at her Christmas tree farm and sees disaster. Dead trees fill her fields. Raccoons have invaded the Santa barn. Mysterious deliveries keep vanishing. Lovelight Farms bears no resemblance to the winter wonderland she dreamed of creating. Desperate to save her business, Stella enters a contest run by famous influencer Evelyn St. James. The media coverage and hundred thousand dollar prize could rescue her from financial ruin. But there's a problem. To make Lovelight Farms look like the perfect romantic holiday destination, Stella claimed she co-runs the place with her boyfriend. The boyfriend doesn't exist. Enter Luka Peters, her best friend, who only came by for hot chocolate. Now he finds himself with an official farm and an official girlfriend. As Stella and Luka navigate their fake relationship, they must transform the struggling farm into a convincing romantic retreat while pretending their friendship is something more.
