From cold rivalry to hot cocoa and warm hearts. Jez, a grumpy Fennex, wants nothing to do with the cold, snow or bustling winter games descending on the charming town of Adenashire. She'd rather curl up for a nap. But a drunken boast lands her smack in the middle of the festivities and, even worse, fake dating her friend, Taenya, a woodland elf. Plagued by chronic fatigue and past heartbreak, Jez has long guarded her heart. Not to mention she has a secret she'd rather not share. Yet, Taenya's warmth and patience begin to melt her icy exterior. Together, the two women tackle challenges--from ice sculpting to scavenger hunts--and their pretend relationship sparks genuine feelings. With the unwavering support of her friends, and amidst the cozy, festive cheer of winter, Jez discovers that love and acceptance are within reach, even for those who would rather hibernate in the shadows.
