Description: Event-planner Eve Canaday and her secret crush Dr. Ben Tyler are unexpectedly drafted to help a little girl fulfill her late-mother's wish--to have a magical Christmas that creates some happy memories. Eve sees this opportunity as a sign; Ben, as a glitch in his plan to leave Marietta behind for good. As the trio checks off the to-do list of Christmas fun, Ben's bah-humbug opinion of the holiday fades, along with ideas about keeping his distance from Eve. Getting involved is the last thing he wants to do, but, alas, there's no accounting for cosmic interference. With the season of miracles upon this jewel of a town, will Eve find it's possible that Christmas wishes aren't only for little girls?
