Now, shes stuck in the one-bedroom guest house at her familys inn with a kind-hearted criminal who loves Christmas. And books. And who brings her hot chocolate in bed and rubs her tired feet with peppermint oil. Bah, humbug.
Jack Bell embraces everything life throws at him. But hes not sure what to make of Mistletoe Mountainor the cranky but adorable spitfire appointed to represent him in a criminal case that has to be a joke. His motto is roll with it. So hes determined to make the best of his guest house arrest.
When the case goes viral, the prosecutor doubles down on getting a conviction, and Jack worries his past will be exposed. Holly works feverishly to defend him in the middle of a media storm, and he sets out to remind her of the true meaning of Christmas by dragging her to the town tree lighting, the gingerbread house-building contest, and every festive event in between.
