In this heartwarming tale set during the Christmas season, a
single father and a fashion photographer are brought
together by a young boy and a mischievous Bernese mountain
dog—but first they must learn to set aside their differences
if they are willing to let their relationship bloom. David Murphy never knew much about kids. But when his
brother dies unexpectedly, David is granted custody of his
six-year-old nephew, Troy, who he’s only seen once a year
since he was born. He already has his hands full running his
business, and he has no idea how to help the grieving boy.
When Troy runs off one day, David finds him at a park
playing with an adorable and rambunctious Bernese mountain
dog—who leads him to Sophie. Sophie Griffith has spent her life travelling around the
world as a photojournalist. She has never stayed in one
place for long, and her new assignment—helping her
grandmother for a few weeks—is just temporary. Once
Christmas day comes, Sophie is off the hook and can leave
for a new adventure. Caring for her grandmother is a piece
of cake—but caring for her new Bernese mountain dog, Riggs,
is a different story. It doesn’t help that Riggs strikes up
a friendship with a lost little boy one day at the park—and
leads her to David. Neither David nor Sophie have time for romance. But as they
spend more time together, they start falling for each other
even though they know it can’t go anywhere. Sophie will be
gone after Christmas, and the last thing David needs is
another distraction as he tries to comfort Troy. But as
their faith and growing love for the boy and dog unites
them, they wonder whether it’s more than a holiday
romance…and maybe Troy might finally get his Christmas wish
for a family.
