Evangeline Phillips isn't exactly a Grinch, but being estranged from her parents means Christmas is just another day for her. But when Evie meets her new neighbor--her hot, kind, and blessed-with-the-sexiest-accent-Evie-has -ever-heard neighbor--she thinks it might be just the thing to help her get past the holiday season. Annika Mayer isn't really running away. But when there's a job opening in the United States, it seems like the perfect time to leave Germany and start fresh, even if it's only temporary. It's just a pity that she's missing out on the most important holiday: Christmas with her family. Fortunately, Annika's cute new neighbor is exactly the distraction she needs. As their friendship and flirtation builds, Evie and Annika decide on an American-German Christmas mesh-up--they'll share their Christmas traditions and make it through the season together. And as they plan their "Merry Weihnachten, " that flirtation starts to build into something more. But with so much standing between them and forever, Evie and Annika realize they might not get their gift-wrapped happy ending after all.
