Ruby spends her holiday season spreading love and joy. As an interior designer, she moves throughout the city sprinkling holiday cheer through her meticulous Christmas designs and overall fabulous decor. Living in Winter Crest, a city founded on Christmas Eve, only heightens her love for the season. Every corner of Winter Crest is filled with joy. That is until she meets her Grinch of a neighbor, Ryan. His cold, rude demeanor instantly turns her off. While Ruby's mind may be unimpressed, her body zings with excitement every time Ryan is near. Ryan is a loner. He dislikes being around people, and he despises Christmas even more. As a self-made reseller, Ryan has limited contact with the outside world, which is his preference. However, after several run ins with Ruby, his annoying neighbor who he claims talks too much, only heightens his appreciation for silence. He claims he hates her, but instead of simply walking away when their paths cross, he finds himself wanting to shut her up in ways that set his body ablaze. Ryan and Ruby are total opposites, and bump heads whenever they are near one another. But along with the building animosity, there also lies a strong attraction that could melt Winter Crest's worst snowstorm. They simply need to figure out how to douse the flames without tearing each other apart.
