Description
Katie Smith, a lonely-hearted waitress, has nowhere to go for Christmas and a huge crush on her gorgeous diner patron, Juan Martinez. When Juan asks Katie to pose as his girlfriend for holiday festivities at his family's winery, she leaps at the chance—only for an accident to leave Juan in a coma right after telling his folks the 'news.' Katie knows she should tell the Martinezes the truth, but when they immediately embrace her, she is reluctant to let go of her fantasy of a family holiday. Then there's Juan's brother, Mateo, whose smile tugs at her heartstrings—and who suggests that perfect Juan might not be everything he seems. Second son Mateo Martinez loves his brother, but Juan's plan to "rebrand and expand" Los Cielos Cellars has cost the family too much and put its tradition in jeopardy. Katie seems to understand, but she's still committed to Juan, even when Mateo begins to hope that her gentle heart and beautiful smile might be meant for him instead. With the winery at stake, secrets on all sides, and Juan due to wake up any day, can Katie and Mateo follow their hearts to a Christmas miracle, or will this mix-up ruin their chances?
While You Were Sleeping meets The Wedding Date with a fun Puerto Rican holiday twist.
