When Fairview’s Christmas parade starts to unravel, two reluctant volunteers are pushed into the spotlight.
Ethan Caldwell lives by schedules and neat checklists. Every light must line up, every float roll on time, every detail under control. Nothing rattles him more than disorder until Leo Alvarez shows up with glitter in his hair and a grin that promises trouble.
Leo thrives on improvisation. To him, a crooked candy cane float is part of the fun, and laughter matters more than symmetry. The last thing he wants is to work with Fairview’s most serious planner but the mayor won’t take no for an answer.
Between missing costumes, a snow machine gone rogue, and a Santa who can’t stand steady, Ethan and Leo are stuck side by side. Late-night cocoa runs turn into long conversations, sharp arguments blur into teasing, and rivalry slowly shifts into something neither expected.
But can a man who craves order and a man who invites chaos really meet in the middle? Or will the holiday madness pull them apart before the lights dim?
