All Cheri wants is one good kiss. One that will blow her mind, set her on fire, and melt her heart as well as all the snow in a ten mile radius. But on a fateful Thanksgiving, when she tells her sister that's her Christmas wish, her family takes the matter into their own hands. And once her family decides something, their minds are made up. After setting her up on a series of bad dates with comically terrible kissers, Cheri wants to give up on all of it. Not just the kisses, but romance in general. Not to mention, there's Jay Gautreaux. Jay has been a thorn in her side for five years. She is an elf in the Christmas village where her Uncle is the beloved town Santa, and Jay...well, he is there to make Cheri's life terrible. He works at Rosie's, just down the mall from her winter wonderland. His gorgeous eyes, fit arms, and wavy hair barely soften how annoying he is. Nope, that sleigh took off long ago. But as time marches on, Cheri may just find out there's more to Jay than meets the eye and what you're looking for is right in front of you. Sometimes it takes a few kisses (and a Christmas train, a destroyed Christmas village, karaoke, a million cups of coffee, one big party, and too many pairs of striped tights to count) to get there.
