Can the magic of the Christmas season lead to a fairy tale happy ending? When Cara Roberts' family plans an extra special Christmas to support her after her broken engagement, she wants nothing to do with the holiday. After learning her brother and his wife can't use the cottage vacation they purchased, she impulsively escapes to an English cottage in the bucolic village of Bakewell, despite having no idea where Bakewell is. Lord Alec Sherbourne of Langley Park is no fan of Christmas, but following in his parents' footsteps, he annually donates his impressive 19th century country home to be decorated and opened on December weekends as a community fundraiser. This year, Christmas is complicated by the arrival of a pretty American woman who booked a cottage on his estate-only the cottage is occupied. Forced to take her under his vast roof, he's dismayed when a storm and frozen pipes keep her with him longer than he'd anticipated. Even more worrisome, her presence is making it feel like Christmas for the first time in forever. As these two holiday housemates become friends, is there something more in the Christmas air?
