Traveling writer Emory has never needed a xmas. Although her free spirit makes her the perfect travel writer, a surprising break with her boyfriend chooses her private life back to square one. Hoping to pay the holiday relaxing and recovering, Emory chooses the xmas vacation planned for the two of them. Throughout a combination up on the leasing site - or perhaps a little xmas magical - Emory has been forced to share the cabin with motherinlaw, his young daughter, and a handsome widower. What begins as an annoying inconvenience blooms to a love affair she never knew was possible, and also a xmas they could cherish forever.
