From the screenwriter of Rescuing Madison and A Lesson in Romance on Hallmark. Soon to be a Motion Picture. Produced by Oren Kamara/Fade to Black Films, Brian Bird of When Calls the Heart (Hallmark), and Branscombe Richmond. Starring Trevor Donovan and Tiffany Smith. After a tough week that includes losing a big job opportunity and being dumped by her long-term boyfriend, Jenna Burke receives word that her beloved Aunt May passed away. Traveling back to her Hawaiian hometown for the reading of the will, Jenna discovers she and her sister have inherited May's dilapidated Victorian home on desirable beachfront land. The sisters can do whatever they want with the property, but there's one catch: the house must be renovated before it can be sold, and Jenna has to oversee the work. Their Aunt even stipulated the contractor for the job -- Ben Fletcher -- who has a gift for making things beautiful again. He also has another skill: driving Jenna crazy. Jenna vows to sell the property the moment the job is done. But as Aunt May's broken old house starts to feel like home again, Jenna is torn between the life she's been chasing in the city, and the one she'd left behind.

Christmas isn't fashion editor Roxanne Hudson's style, but when she finds herself snowed in with a handsome stranger, she might just discover the magic of the season after all. Roxanne Hudson does not like the holidays. They come with too many family obligations that take her away from work as a rising fashion editor in New York City. But this Christmas might be Grandma Myrtle's last, and Roxanne's parents want her to spend the holiday at the family cabin in the Green Mountains. With her on-again, off-again ex-boyfriend out of the country for a photo shoot, Roxanne decides to brave the long commute--and the wilderness--to spend Christmas in Vermont. After an uncomfortable call from her boyfriend starts the trip off badly, Roxanne is blindsided by a blizzard on the snowy mountain road, where the last thing she hears before losing consciousness is sleigh bells. When she's rescued by Mark Foster, a handsome park ranger who's the exact opposite of everything she always thought she wanted, Roxanne seeks her grandmother's wisdom and discovers an uncanny connection that could be a sign of what her life is really meant to be.
