Synopsis:

Two best friends... One destination wedding... Seven days abroad... It takes flying across an ocean to realize they are each other's home.

Ari Callaghan has had a bad year. First, her dad died. Now, she’s failing out of her Master of Business Administration program. She just needs to survive her brother’s holiday wedding in Ireland.

Gideon Sims, desperate for familial warmth, can’t wait to spend the holidays with the Callaghan’s. More specifically, on a Christmas tree farm with his best friend and dance partner, Ari.

They’ve planned for everything, except for the long-forgotten feelings that resurface as they go abroad for the first time.

Soon they’re in a temporary arrangement that’s only meant to last the week. But after their unexpectedly romantic and spicy vacation, will just friends be enough once they’re back home in Starling Hills?
