When the small town of Granite Junction hosts its first annual Cowboy Auction to help a struggling family, the last thing Jake Reynolds expects is to be part of the show. Having been left at the altar and shying away from the spotlight, he's hesitant to auction himself off. But when Ellie Parker, the sweet yet feisty schoolteacher, steps in to save him from an unwanted admirer, Jake finds himself tangled in more than just a charity date.
Ellie has always admired Jake from afar, but bidding on him was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Now, she's set for a cozy night out with the town's most rugged cowboy. As Christmas magic and old feelings spark, Ellie and Jake must confront past hurts and take a leap into the possibility of love.
