Dog-Eared Daydreams

The Christmas Playbook by S. Massery & S.J. Sylvis Release Date: November 7, 2025 About The Christmas Playbook One cabin. One week. One fake relationship. Winter break was supposed to be easy: one last trip with my best friends, a little snowboarding, maybe some hot cocoa spiked with something stronger. No drama, no strings. Then my cabin got double-booked. Enter Mira Winters—my childhood neighbor and crush. And somehow, the girl managed to get even prettier since the last time I saw her. She’s got one problem: her family makes mine look like a walk in the park, and she’d rather fake a boyfriend than deal with their constant judgement. Guess who she asks to step up? Yours truly. It’s supposed to be for show. Hold her hand. Steal a kiss under the mistletoe. Pretend I’m head over heels for her. Easy. Right? Except the more we play this game, the more I want it to be real. And suddenly I’m less worried about the score her family is keeping and more about what happe...

I spend my days among the stacks as the town’s librarian and my nights serving drinks at Joy’s Elbow Room. It’s safe, predictable, and a little boring. The only thing that makes my pulse kick is when Caleb Kelly walks through the door and takes a seat at one of my tables. Four years of stolen glances, watching him laugh with his family, listening to him talk about his son, and pretending he doesn’t unravel me just by saying my name. Alice. Then one reckless night, I steal a kiss. And for one perfect, heart-stopping second, he kisses me back. But the thing is, Caleb doesn’t date.

Just as I start to move fo...
