Synopsis

This grumpy single dad and upbeat ballerina are both unexpectedly home for the holidays. But is that the only thing they have in common?

Aidan Webb only wants one thing in life, and that’s to do right by his energetic four-year old son, Walt. He’s determined to focus on his business by day, spend lots of time with Walt by night, and avoid romantic entanglements, no matter what. His single-minded focus may make him seem like a grump, but Aidan doesn’t care, as long as Walt has everything he needs.

Kenzie Forrest has been dancing out the romantic stories of the great ballets ever since she was a little girl. But a terrible injury leaves the professional ballerina uncertain if she will ever dance again. Heading back to her hometown to rest and recover, she almost immediately bumps into a gorgeous single dad and his adorable son.

Suddenly, Kenzie is starting to think that all of this could be fate, and her injury happened because it’s time for her to find her own storybook love this Christmas.

But Aidan Webb doesn’t do love – especially with a ballerina who he secretly believes will head for New York again the minute the boot comes off her injured foot. It doesn’t matter that she’s the only one who can make him laugh, or that she has such a connection with his son.

The problem is that she’s already breaking his heart, and he hasn’t even let her into it yet…
