Katie's dream was to keep her bed and breakfast in the mountains of Virginia running. After her husband died at a young age, she'd given up on love and just worked hard, trying to keep her mind off the grief. Noah only wanted to get to Atlanta to take care of an issue at his corporate office, but a snowstorm has grounded him and the only place to stay is Gingerbread House. The minute he walks in, his eyes roll with disgust. He hated Christmas and this place was covered in it.
Over the next couple of days, through Kate's love of Christmas, Noah heart begins to melt, but is it enough? Then one night, her neighbor, who is obsessed with her, comes in and takes them hostage, but through a cool head Katie talks him down and they quickly take hold of the situation. During this time, Noah realizes that maybe there's more to the feelings in his heart, but can he leave the corporate world behind for a life in the mountains of Virginia?
