Overview

New York City event planner Michael Cove has been dating temperamental artist Jude Kendrick for two years. Convinced their relationship is going well, he's not inclined to rock the boat.

Jude wants more. For a long time, the holidays held only memories of loss and grief. Now he has one bright spot in Michael. But Jude's career is taking off and Michael works every evening. Late nights and early mornings are not enough. He needs Michael to be there for him, and he wants to be there for Michael. If Michael moves in with him, they can make the most of the time they have together. But Michael is certain that Jude will soon tire of him and refuses to take that risk.

When Jude's old flame reappears, all bets are off. Faced with unexpected competition, Michael's doubts come boiling to the surface. Now Michael must make a life-changing decision, and learn his own heart in the process. Status quo is no longer an option. Can Michael overcome his fears and give Jude a perfect Christmas memory, or will he lose the best thing that's ever happened to him?
