The holidays aren't starting off the way Liz hoped. Arriving in Wyoming the month before Christmas, she finds refuge on her sister's couch while she waits for her boyfriend Rob to come to his senses. She takes a job as an elf at Santa's cottage in the local park and as she focuses on getting her topsy-turvy life back in order she notices something.

Someone, actually. Someone wearing a red velvet Santa suit. Someone so hot he could melt the polar ice cap. Someone named Steve who is all she ever dreamed of finding beneath her sprig of mistletoe.

Can working as an elf for a few weeks bring Liz a holiday gift that will last a lifetime?
