While most men want expensive tools or electronics for Christmas, all Sheriff Owen Brown wants is to take Clair out on a real date and for to slow down a little to give Owen some time to enjoy lazy Christmas days with his son. Owen doesn't think he is going to get either thing on his Christmas list this year.

Maybe the thefts will force him to cancel the Christmas festival and ruin everyone's Christmas. And the secret admirer leaving him random love notes is annoying. Owen just doesn't have time for all the crap being slung at him…making him doubt his decision to ask Clair out.

When the secret admirer sends an invite to meet him after the Christmas festival, she decides to end the silly game with whomever is sending the letters…
