Could a New York Christmas lead to all she never knew she wanted?

All introvert Flora Bell wants is a quiet Christmas. It has been a terrible year and she just wants to forget the festive season altogether.

So when her chaotic, rowdy family plans a once-in-a-lifetime Christmas trip to New York, in homage to their favourite Home Alone films, Flora isn't keen.

But then she meets Aidan in a coffee shop and the chemistry is undeniable. He is thrilled to find she is a speechwriter and engages her to help him write a best man's speech.

Just as she dares to believe her New York fairytale is coming true, she learns a family secret that changes everything.

Can she learn to share her life and will there still be room for love?
