Determined to have the romantic Christmas she's always wanted, she sets out on a cross-country road trip to surprise her ex-boyfriend and convince him she's the one. But her grand plans are derailed when she drives straight into a snowbank in the middle of nowhere, Utah. She's rescued by Priscilla, a terse, unsmiling bookstore owner with zero interest in holiday cheer. Stranded in the ski town of Brooks with her car out of commission, Alaina makes a bucket list of festive adventures to prove she's fun and adventurous enough to love--and to her surprise, Priscilla offers to join her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBetween tree-cutting misadventures, ice-skating lessons, and a night beneath the stars, Alaina's plan goes off without a hitch--except that the longer she spends with Priscilla, the less she's sure of what, or who, she really wants.
