A delightful holiday romance about a small-town single dad and an animal rescue owner as they try to find forever homes for a dozen lovable pups before Christmas. Ally Gilmore may have had a slightly unrealistic idea of what it would be like to move to idyllic Pine Hollow to run the local animal shelter. Small-town Vermont, adorable dogs, and the chance to be closer to her grandparents sounded like the perfect recipe for the fresh start she needs -- but she's barely settled in when she learns the shelter is losing its funding and she has only four weeks to find forever homes for all the dogs. When Ally tries to dispute the town council's decision, she finds her nemesis is a lot younger, a lot more handsome, and a lot more reasonable than she expected. Ben Hait knows he can come across as a bit of a Scrooge, but he's got too much on his plate to worry about cultivating a warm and cuddly reputation. He's barely keeping his head above water as the sole guardian of his ten-year-old niece, and he genuinely can't handle one more thing -- like the dog little Astrid keeps begging him to get. But he does feel guilty about Ally's situation and agrees to use his connections in the town to help her find homes for the shelter animals. What starts as an uneasy alliance evolves into a friendship as Ben and Ally navigate Pine Hollow's holiday events, bringing adorable pups with "adopt me" ribbons to the Christmas parade and tree-lighting ceremonies. And soon the town matchmakers are hard at work to convince the pair that their chemistry isn't just the magic of mistletoe but the love of a lifetime.

So when he announces on a press tour that he's ready to give up his playboy ways and start a family, he's confident the universe will provide him with the fairy tale future he's envisioned - and completely unprepared to come home a week before Christmas to find an eleven-year-old girl sitting on his doorstep with a note claiming she's his daughter.

Taking her movie star boss and his potential daughter home for Christmas isn't on any of Andi Cooper's carefully crafted agendas.

Clement, Minnesota, here they come. But when they arrive in her small town, Andi begins to see a different side of her boss. Could there be more to the playboy than she thought? Could he actually become a good father? And could a movie star really be interested in his glamour-less assistant? Could they actually become the family he was wishing for all along?
