Bailey Sullivan can't stand Christmas, even though her
family's business is a store specializing in the perfect
holiday. But now her hometown's chief supplier of rooftop
Rudolphs and treetop angels is in danger of going under—
it's up to Bailey to save the shop.

She has it all planned: She'll arrive on December 1 and be
gone by Christmas. Plus there's always spiked eggnog to
ease the pain. But "Humbug" Bailey's not the only one home
for the holidays. Finn Jacobson—legendary local bad boy-
turned-Secret Service agent and Bailey's long-lost high-
school sweetheart—is once again the boy next door. Only
this time he's all grown up, and the sparks are flying
faster and hotter than ever!

Bailey believes in true love about as much as she believes
in Santa Claus. But as the holiday draws closer, she's
starting to think about one thing she'd like to find under
her tree . . .
