When opposites attract...

They may find their Christmas miracle!

Needing help to organize the Christmas party of the decade, Victoria Hamilton hires the very unconventional yet very charming Sam Weatherby as her PA. With pressure from their parents, both need each other’s help, and when Sam—normally a banker!—is quickly promoted to fake fiancé until the party is over, neither realizes that in the most unexpected place, they may have actually found true love!
