Erin Gilbert and Steve Sullivan have finally done it.
They've given into their unbridled passion and have
officially become a couple. Who knew that combining their
decorating finesse would eventually lead to romance on the
job as well as in the bedroom. Crestview has not only the
best interior design team, but also the perfect pair to put
this quiet, little Colorado town on the map as a Mecca for
cutting-edge designs and trends.
Christmastime has arrived in Snowcap, a neighboring
sleepy town, complete with snowflakes and holiday cheer.
Unfortunately, all is not calm and bright due to the recent
sale of revered Goodwin Estate. So naturally, the new
owners call upon the services of Sullivan & Gilbert to help
create the perfect holiday setting to help ease the
unsettled nerves of the skeptical townsfolk.
What starts off as just another job quickly turns
into a decorator's nightmare when the local building
inspector winds up dead. Not surprisingly, Erin is once
again at the center of the investigation due to her knack
for getting caught up in murder and mayhem. As the inn
starts to encounter more issues which might prevent it from
opening on Christmas Eve, Steve and Erin have no choice but
to help find the killer before their newly acquired job
turns into a lump of coal.
As the couple try to appease the proprietors with
their own version of the Twelve Days of Christmas, Erin's
ex-boyfriend shows up on the scene with a vested interest
in the inn. As Erin tries to put by-gones aside while
focusing on her budding relationship with Steve, another
murder takes place which threatens to destroy the future of
their business. Who is out to get them? And more
importantly, will Steve and Erin be able to survive this
murderous test of their love?
