Summary
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Toby has told exactly one lie in all his life: that he has a boyfriend.
Now his whole family expects to meet him. At the lodge. For two whole frigging weeks!
Jules draws Christmas for a living and has never had one of his own. Grumpy, allergic to sentiment, and behind on his deadline.
The deal is simple. Jules plays boyfriend. In exchange, he gets two weeks inside the one thing he's never managed to invent — a real family Christmas, his for the sketching.
One bed, a scheming grandmother, and a bossy 6-year-old. A family that hugs like a full-contact sport.
The contract has a hard end date with a clean break built in. Nobody told Jules's heart about the deadline.
Can two guarded hearts make something real out of a lie that was only ever meant to last until Christmas?
