In the enchanting winter of 2000, prepare for a holiday season so chaotic, it makes Home Alone look like a silent night. Cassandra "Cassie" Economos finds herself at a crossroads as she returns home from the University of Illinois for a much-anticipated winter break. She ponders the unspoken words that hang between her and her boyfriend, Corey Fuchs. Corey, bless his heart, does love Cassie, he just can't seem to articulate it, mostly because their lives are diverging faster than a pair of figure skaters after a wardrobe malfunction. Meanwhile, Cassie's cousin Phil, a man whose romantic gestures usually involve accidentally setting things on fire, is planning to propose to his girlfriend, Jennifer Anderson, but must navigate the frantic waters of familial expectations and thwart their well-meaning but intrusive plans. Jennifer, a woman of saintly patience, adores Phil, but she's starting to suspect his family views her as slightly less desirable than a fruitcake at a Weight Watchers meeting. Can their love survive the Economos clan's well-intentioned but utterly disastrous interference? Told from four perspectives, Christmas Surprise is a high-spirited holiday romp featuring characters from The Rock Star's Wife series. Grab your hot cocoa and cozy up for a Christmas celebration like no other. Expect meddling relatives, awkward mistletoe encounters, and enough Christmas cheer to power a small city.
