Now, she’s learning to navigate the world as a Deaf-Hard of Hearing person while trying to conceal her hearing loss from her new schoolmates. Hayden González-Rossi is also keeping secrets. Three generations of González men have risen to stardom on the soccer field, and Hayden knows his family expects him to follow in their footsteps, but he wants to quit soccer and pursue a career on Broadway. If only his Generalized Anxiety Disorder didn’t send him into a debilitating spiral over the thought of telling the truth. Casey and Hayden are both determined to hide who they really are. But when they cross paths at school, they bond over their shared love of music and their mutual feeling that they don’t belong, and the secrets come spilling out.

Then a big name movie star raved about it and suddenly my face is splashed across morning talk shows, and producers are offering me millions for film rights. Enter Robert ‘Robbie’ Huynh — America’s rom-com heartthrob. He’s tall, dark, handsome, and Australian. He’s like all my weaknesses rolled into one delicious package. He’s also the one who started this mess, and he wants my film rights. He wants them real bad. So we strike a deal; I’ll sign the contract if he gives me full creative license. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Only this Christmas contract? It’s got all the strings attached. Robbie I’m in a rut. An acting rut. Being typecast as the romantic lead is getting old real fast. I want action, adventure, mystery. I want Astrid Larsson’s film rights. And I’m not above using a little Aussie charm to get it. Only Astrid’s not at all what I expected. For a woman who writes crime thrillers, I expected someone hard, seasoned, rough. She’s the exact opposite, and she’s getting under my skin — big time. I need to keep my head in the game. After all, this Christmas, all I really want is… Astrid?! Warning: This book is inspired by Christmas movies, true crime podcasts, and a crisp Aussie accent. So, get thee a man, some mistletoe, and settle in — this read will have you jingling all the way to the bedroom.
