She thinks she’s found the perfect solitary retreat house-sitting a charming beach cottage in South Carolina. But when she arrives, she discovers she isn’t as blissfully alone as she planned. Michael "Mikey" Patterson needs to stay completely out of sight until his attorney gives him the all-clear, and this small coastal town seemed like the ideal hideout. The problem? They are sharing the same house. Mikey’s surprise roommate pushes all his buttons, but a strategically placed sprig of mistletoe and one memorable kiss make Sheridan and Mikey forget their plans to keep their distance. As their forced proximity turns into a deep emotional connection, the outside world threatens to intrude. The stakes are high: when complicated family dynamics and Mikey's real-world troubles inevitably catch up to them, will their new romance survive, or will their happily ever after get tossed out along with the discarded wrapping paper and tinsel?
