How do you work in the holiday decorations industry, and not love Christmas?
Alyssa Bailey has lost count of how many times either she, or someone she knows, has posed that question. It's not that she dislikes this time of year, but a painful reminder of loving memories of her beloved father. After he dies suddenly, family gatherings don't feel the same.
Throwing herself into her job, Alyssa soon becomes indispensable to her boss, Julian Hawthorne. When she literally runs into Niles, Julian's younger brother, she leaves an indelible impression. Soon, she finds herself working with Niles, and his mother, Nadine Ray Hawthorne on an annual holiday event at a local Children's hospital. Alyssa is surprised to find that she has much in common with Niles, and a friendship develops.

It doesn't take Niles long to realize that he enjoys the unexpected partnership with Alyssa. He finds her talented, funny, and drama-free. Something that he has come to appreciate lately. When both discover that dealing with unexpected losses is another similarity they share, their bond grows. Eventually, Niles is unable to deny the pull of attraction, and Alyssa feels the same.

Will this Christmas bring Alyssa a love that lasts forever, or will the company's ironclad rule: no employee dating keep them apart?
