Chicago based wealth manager, Andie Ivy, is barely holding it together. It's her first Christmas without the beloved grandmother who raised her. And Trey, the guy she thought she was going to marry, just got engaged--to someone else.

What's a broken-hearted city girl to do?

Head south to her grandmother's hometown for a holiday fling just like all the Christmas movies say of course! Not only will it be great content for the lifestyle website Andie writes with her best friend Iona, but it may make Trey jealous enough to end his engagement.

Dahlia, Georgia isn't exactly known for its dating scene but there is something about hunky distiller Will Nolan. A former city dweller himself, Will agrees to help Andie work her Christmas movie plot but with a twist. They'll just pretend to date. Who falls for each other after only a week anyway?

When tragedy causes Andie to stay in Dahlia for longer than expected, Andie and Will find themselves breaking their dating rules.

Caught between the life she's worked for and a life she never expected, Andie is pulled between history and serendipity, loyalty and peace, friendship and romance, and discovers that the love she craves just might be at the heart of southern hospitality.
