Judge Becky McBride has recently landed in the small town of Spruce Lake, Colorado, with her son, Nicolas, and she doesn't want to stay there long. The former big–city lawyer sees this six–month gig as her ticket to a courtroom in Denver. She can't wait to leave the town and its eccentric residents; especially the handsome and irrepressible Will O'Malley.

Will loves skiing, dogs, his hometown; and Becky. She might not trust him or his intentions, but he's fallen hard for her and nine–year–old Nick. Not only that, her son's just as crazy about him. Now Will has to convince Becky that she feels exactly the same way.

And Christmas is the best time to do it!

Now Megan and Cody, their son, need his help. To avoid being sent to a juvenile detention centre Cody must move to Colorado with his father. But there's a catch. Cody won't go unless Luke marries his mother.

It's a marriage of convenience, but their feelings from the past have never really gone away. Luke has always believed that family is the road to happiness. Can he convince Megan of that?
