From anonymous chats to a whirlwind holiday romance -- can love survive the spotlight?

Sage Holloway used to adore Christmas. But after a devastating breakup, the nurse finds herself dodging mistletoe and romantic entanglements in equal measure. Until a chance encounter with a single mom and her precocious daughter begins to thaw her heart.

Peyton "Pepper" Liu, a former celebrity chef, has traded the chaos of Hollywood for the cozy charm of Hollyvale. Determined to give her daughter a stable life, Pepper pours all her energy into opening her dream restaurant. Love isn't on the menu -- until she crosses paths with Sage, whose grounded nature feels like a lifeline in Pepper's whirlwind world.

At the urging of their meddling friends, both women join Matches Ever After, a high-end matchmaking app. Unbeknownst to them, their anonymous chats spark a connection as electric as their real-life encounters. But as their bond deepens, so do the secrets Pepper keeps.

When a glittering holiday pageant turns into a media circus, Sage discovers Pepper's true identity -- and the messy past she's been hiding.

Can Sage trust Pepper's intentions? Can Pepper prove she's more than the headlines? And can they find a way back to each other in time for Christmas?
