"Christmas has, indeed, arrived early with this romp."—Booklist

July is a great time to celebrate Christmas! In the wild world of making a TV Christmas movie, a hot and sunny upstate New York summer becomes a winter wonderland, overnight. But as cool as the fake snow is, when the real life hero gets tangled up with the movie star, the screenwriter grapples for control of the story, and the fans become a hazard to life and limb, it'll take a Christmas miracle to pull everyone together.

Up-and-coming LA screenwriter Ivy Green is about to have her life turned upside down. Her movie, based on her high-school romance with Nick Shepherd, is being filmed in her hometown. In the middle of summer, during the month of July, the production crew creates a winter-wonderland Christmas. Nick is less than thrilled to see Ivy after all this time—especially because her movie script kills off his character. To complicate matters, Ivy isn't sure of her relationship with the producer, the town is overflowing with movie stars and adoring fans, and, worst of all, the actress playing Ivy develops a crush on the real Nick! Now with renewed and confusing feelings about Nick, Ivy is determined to see if there is anything left between them. But in the end, she may have to re-write her life's script to finally get everything she's ever wanted.
