Billionaire Mike Woodley has always carved his own path, steering clear of his wealthy family's influence. But when his parents swoop back into town, they treat him like he's still a kid. His father belittles his business, and his mother drops not-so-subtle hints about settling down. Determined to prove himself, Mike impulsively invites the whole family to Christmas dinner at his new place in Sullivan's Creek. There's just one hitch: his home is as empty as his heart, and he's struggling to find an interior decorator who can handle his hands-on approach.

The last thing local artist Darren Williams wants is a decorating job, but she has to take it to pay off her sister's gambling debts-even if Mike keeps getting in the way. As Darren juggles her newfound career and her sister's problems, she's surprised to find a spark flare between her and the meddlesome billionaire.

As they confront their respective families' issues, these two independent people realize their partnership could be more than just a solution to their problems-it's a force to be reckoned with, a bond forged in the heat of passion. Could it also be love?
