Go Back to December
While You Were Sleeping meets The Hating Game in this holiday rom-com about an idealistic café manager who agrees to be the holidate for a cold-hearted negotiator to prevent his firm from shuttering her business.
Melody Johnson's Christmas wish list:
1. Save her café from a corporate demolition.
2. Escape to Paris for a dream fellowship.
3. Forget that Baz Johnson ever existed.
Baz Johnson's Christmas nightmare:
His estranged family. In his life. For a week
When the deal Baz is orchestrating threatens to ruin everything Mel’s worked for, her Christmas confrontation to stop the Money Honey Grinch from stealing her dreams makes them targets of an armed attacker. Melody’s heroic maneuver to save them lands Baz in the hospital, but the arrival of his estranged family gives Baz more pain than his dislocated knee. He makes Mel an outrageous offer: if she poses as his girlfriend while he recovers, and buffers his family’s holiday meddling, Baz will help rescue the café.
To protect her prospects, Mel consents to play his charade. But as things heat up between them, and Mel starts to unravel the rift between Baz and his family, the lines between what’s real and what’s right begin to blur. And the man who could take everything from her might be the one thing Melody can’t live without.
