She's always on the outside looking in, but his door might just be the one to open for her this Christmas.

'Her name's Tilly. Tilly Thorpe. She lives in London.'

To stop his family from speculating about his love life, travel company CEO Rafe Harrington casually drops Tilly Thorpe's name as his girlfriend. After all, they'll never meet - she's just a name he saw on a rival company's website.

But when Rafe arrives at his family's home in Glenbriar for Christmas, he's shocked to find 'his girlfriend' waiting for him.

He has some explaining to do and so does Tilly.

Why did Rafe's family welcome her with open arms when she's little more than a spy? Someone who's trying hard to please her superiors, hoping it'll bring some desperately desired happiness to her lonely existence.

Rafe isn't a big fan of the festive season, but neither he nor Tilly can ignore their instant spark. With bad weather forecast, now is the ideal moment to discover some magic. Tilly's never felt this at home anywhere, but none of it's real, and that's not why she's here.

With time running short, can they seize this unexpected chance to fall in love not only with Christmas but also with each other?
