Jen Morris has everything going for her until she loses it all in one day. Her fiancé, dream job, and money disappear, stranding her in a small Missouri town. When she is offered a job as a live-in nanny, she takes the position, but only until Christmas.

Left with two little girls and a broken heart, Shane Bradley is determined to never marry again. He hires Jen knowing she will only stay until Christmas. As the holidays loom, he isn't sure what will hurt worse: living with Jen, or without her.
