This Is the Season to Make You Mine
Will the Christmas magic help these two friends take a shot at love?
Morgan Bergman doesn’t want to go home for Christmas. She loves her family, but since her parents retired and her sister moved back to their hometown of Apfelville to take over the family business, she’s been avoiding them, feeling guilty about choosing her rising career in New York over her family.
Angie Gutiérrez would love to spend the holidays with her family, but she doesn’t have a choice. Moving to New York from Colombia to follow her dream of becoming a filmmaker means sacrifices need to be made, like spending the holidays alone.
Spending the holidays together in Apfelville seems the perfect solution. Morgan can use her best friend’s support and Angie doesn’t have to be on her own. There’s only one complication. All their friends and family think they should be together.
Hiding romantic feelings for your best friend is already hard enough without everyone meddling. Maybe all it takes is for one of them to take a chance.
Tropes & themes: friends-to-lovers, only one bed, roommates, Latina main character, dealing with family expectations, Christmas romance.
