Is there anything quite as magical as Christmastime in Paris? Not according to Paul, who goes out of his way every December morning so he can enjoy the festive decorations. It's his special quiet time—until the morning he scares off a pickpocket and meets Aussie tourist Jacob.

Jacob is in Paris to tour the Christmas markets, and he's definitely interested in getting to know Paul better. But Paul's a busy man, with no time for a relationship that can go nowhere... or so he thinks.

As the two embark on a holiday fling amidst the romance of Christmas in Paris, the only thing that can bring Paul down is the knowledge that it all ends on December 23.
