One country guy. One city girl. One big tree.

Megan:

Three nights before Christmas, and all I need to do is to pick up a Christmas tree.

Never mind I'm a city girl who's never bought a real live tree. The biggest and best tree in the lot will impress my mom and her new husband, helping them forget how I've neglected to visit their tiny town of Crystal Cove.

Nick:

Three nights before Christmas, and all I need to do is to pick up a Christmas tree. The one saved for me that I should have picked up already for the charity event at the historic mayor's mansion on Christmas Eve.

A task my mother, Mayor Bennington herself, entrusted me with. Now the biggest and best tree in the lot is gone.

Lucky me, I have the chance to redeem myself by helping a recent tree buyer out of a snowy ditch. Wow, is she pretty. And in possession of my tree.

Falling for the country boy is not part of Megan's holiday plans. But for Nick, stumbling upon this city girl might be just the wake-up call he needs.

OMG Christmas Tree is a sweet, slow-burn, holiday romantic comedy.
