Can Tara pull off the holly jolly Christmas of her dreams? Will she deck the halls and not her family? Or is this a Christmas catastrophe waiting to happen…

Including Teddy. My brother’s best friend and my secret crush.
I’m the shy sister. The one with her nose stuck in a book and quoting every word of Elf, not the one getting attention from guys like Teddy.

He’s cool and smart and so handsome I could die.

The only thing that could make things worse is if I got snowed in with him. Alone.

There’s a hot alien male living in my apartment…and he hates my guts.

Vidanric reminds me daily that he despises Earth and wants to go home. He’s miserable, and so am I—even though I can’t help but admire the view when he’s standing shirtless in my kitchen making a smoothie. Loudly. At three in the morning.

My horoscope didn’t prepare me for any of this.
He chewed up and ate one of the inspirational notes I gave him.
He cooks squirrels in my cast-iron skillet.
He complains nonstop about my annoying Earth-girl habits.

This alien’s not grumpy—he’s downright hostile.
All he wants to do is go back to his home planet.
But it’s impossible for him to go home.
