Instead he encounters Lotti Hartford, the woman who took his virginity ten years earlier and whom he has never forgotten. Their last meeting ended badly when Lotti confessed her love and Sean remained silent. Now Lotti wants something different. She seeks fun without commitment and views Sean, known for casual relationships, as the ideal partner for a weekend fling. Sean discovers his priorities have shifted. The former hookup king wants lasting love, specifically with Lotti. He must convince her to risk her heart again. Christmas arrives at the small bed and breakfast as Sean hopes the season will bring the love and magic he needs to win back the woman he lost.
