On her last Christmas in London, an aspiring actress is forced to team up with her lifelong stage rival to save her career and her reputation… without realizing that the greatest role of her life will be falling in love with him. An enemies to lovers romance from beloved author Silvia Aliaga.
For Edith, spending Christmas in London is an act of rebellion. While her parents—a British music producer and a forgotten Mexican actress—flee every year to some faraway beach, she embraces the holiday spirit: she adores Winter Wonderland, the Hyde Park market, and her job at the city’s most popular snow globe shop. Plus, this is the time of year when her best friends, Liam and Hicks, return, and she’s casually seeing Lucas, though nothing serious. But this year, everything is shaken: her boss announces the store’s closure… and, worse yet, Edith must spend every day at the performing arts academy alongside her rival, the insufferable Aaron Bennett.
Aaron is the golden boy: he lands every role in West End musicals, stars in a hit TV series, and has just been cast as the male lead in the Christmas version of Wicked, the very musical Edith has dreamed of performing in since childhood.
Deep down, Aaron is a good guy, but one wild night puts his reputation at risk: compromising photos of him surface with dubious company. His agents—and Aaron himself—fear for his professional future.
In the midst of the scandal, Aaron runs into Edith and her friends Liam and Hicks at a bar. Out of politeness, Edith tolerates his presence, but an unexpected twist brings them together: photos of them on social media go viral, boosting Aaron’s image because Edith and her friends are respectable. His agents propose a deal. Edith will pretend to be part of his inner circle to help clean up his public image; in exchange, Aaron will help her prepare for her last chance to win a scholarship. What begins as an uneasy alliance turns into a genuine friendship… and something more.
As their bond deepens, romantic entanglements, past secrets, and an unexpected threat emerge: a tabloid article that jeopardizes Edith’s reputation and her family’s. The culprit is Lucas, her recent fling, driven by jealousy and ambition. To protect her, Aaron makes a professional sacrifice that could ruin his career: he agrees to provide the newspaper with his own exclusives in exchange for leaving Edith alone.
When Edith discovers what he has done for her, she feels overwhelmed and decides to leave for Glasgow. But in the epilogue, a year later, she is working in a musical in Edinburgh. Though she believes she has left everything behind, Aaron shows up. He has not forgotten her.
