It's Christmas in small town, Carlton Grove... In this holiday love story, Belinda Page, a single mom of a very intelligent four-year-old daughter, is at her wits end, trying to keep up with her baby genius. When the child throws herself into a lake to rescue a puppy, Belinda is frantic. Turning to the man who saves both babies, she seeks his support - until she finds out he's one of those hated Carltons. After all, it was at their home where she'd gone to a party, been drugged, raped and left to deal with the consequences. Dr. Reed Carlton, an introvert who feels uncomfortable around most people, can't believe his luck. He's finally found Lindy; a girl from his past, a fond memory that has haunted him for over four years. Except that once this Lindy learns who he is, she hates him. What was that all about? At least her daughter and the puppy were on his side. But would their affection be enough for Lindy to accept him into her family's life.
