In this heartwarming holiday story, we meet Sophie Foster, who has always adored Christmas. However, after her parents' divorce, the festive season feels a bit lonely. She spends December engrossed in work at a quaint bookstore known for its holiday charm, yet something feels missing.
Keefe Sencen, a new, slightly mischievous town resident who frequents the bookstore. Since Sophie helped him pick out a book for his sister for Christmas, Keefe has developed a fondness for her. His witty banter always brings a smile to her face, but he's never shown any serious intentions-until now.
Determined to brighten Sophie's Christmas and fill the void left by her family's split, Keefe devises a plan. Over the month leading up to Christmas, he carefully orchestrates small, meaningful gestures to show Sophie that the true spirit of the season is found in the connections with people around us. Despite his growing affection for her, he hides his feelings, focusing instead on helping Sophie rediscover the magic of Christmas through their blossoming friendship and the warm, festive moments they create together.
