Resumen

During the Christmas season, Holly Silver, tired of being the fall person for the company's problems, quits her publicist job with Arthur Publishing with nothing in line to replace that job. This situation is much like when she left the family business, Silver Investments, where she would probably be Vice-President now, had she not left after an disagreement about the company's direction with her father, President Edward Silver, stepmother Katherine Silver, and stepbrother Justin Silver, who assumed the Vice-Presidency; she has not spoken to any of them since she left. But in visiting with her sister Eve Silver, Holly believes that instead of looking for another job, she was meant to return to the family business: the event devised by her long-deceased mother, around which the company was built, a Christmas toy giveaway to needy children, is under threat. This year, they outsourced the organization of the toy giveaway to a professional fundraising company, which unexpectedly went bankrupt, taking with them all the donations for the toys; this information has not yet reached the media. While the rest of her family believes that they should abandon the toy giveaway this year to regroup while strategize about how to deal with the media when it hits the news, Holly is determined to keep to her mother's vision to find a way to have it this year. She suggests having a big name with pull to be the center of a fundraising campaign to bring in a new set of donors, and she suggests former Major-League pitcher Jack Kane, with whom she had a somewhat awkward encounter while she was working at Arthur. Jack would understand this problem as his own charity was affected by the same company and he proactively dealt with the media issue, with mixed results. While Jack sympathizes with Holly's plight, he is unwilling to be the face of a Christmas campaign; Christmas has bad connotations for him. Holly is able to convince him to at least consider it, as she acts as Santa's helper elf as she would for the toy giveaway in trying to show him the joys of Christmas. As they spend time together in the lead-up to the possible fundraiser featuring Jack, the two start to fall for each other as Jack sees Christmas through Holly's eyes. What happens between them is affected by the outcome of the fundraiser and the toy giveaway--if it happens this year.—Huggo
