Fleeing apprehension for a crime she didn't commit, Eliza Flannery runs into the town sheriff who thinks she's the housekeeper he's expecting. Out of the frying pan and into the kitchen fires, Eliza is out of her element. As a lady's companion, she has no experience tending a home. But she keeps silent because of her belief that her innocence will make no difference to authorities. Now she needs to create a home and a Christmas celebration for his daughter or risk exposure as a fraud.

Single father, Trent Foerster never expected to be plotting ways to meet his housekeeper under the mistletoe but finds himself seeking to win her confidence. He knows she's hiding something but is unsure how to persuade Eliza to trust him with her secrets and her heart. Her presence in his home and her love for his daughter have given him the gift of hope. Now all he needs to do is convince Eliza to stay.
