Ever since photographer Lacy Maguire caught her ex playing Pin the Secretary to the Elevator Wall, she's been content with her dog Fabio, her three cats, and a vow of chastity. But all of that changes when the reindeer-antlered Fabio drags in a very desperate, on-the-run detective who decides to take refuge in her house -- a house filled with twinkling lights and a decorated tree. (Okay, so it's February, but she has a broken heart to mend, a Christmas-card shoot to do, and a six-times divorced, match-making mother to appease.) For the first time in a looooong while, Lacy reconsiders her vow. Because sexy Chase Kelly, wounded soul that he may be, would be an oh-so-delicious way of breaking her fast. Now, if she can just keep them both alive and him out of jail....

The attraction was probably one sided. She admired Dave from a distance. It was something that Susie Williams had never been free to explore. Her husband had passed away in a tragic accident mid year and left her a widow with 2 children to support. There had been so much guilt and soul searching. Guilt that the children were without a father, and a secret guilt she couldn't share with anyone. This Christmas was going to be sparse, with the money she could scrape together going into the children's education. Will she be surprised this Christmas? Will joy return to her?Will Dave be able to break into her world of low self belief and have her believe that her beauty and attractiveness lasted long past her youth and child bearing? Christmas might just hold some joy and hope yet for Susie.
