Mellie Carter has never been a Christmas person, though she lives its spirit by helping people, spreading kindness, and unconditional understanding. It serves her well; until her niece and nephew make it their goal to end her chronic single-ness and couple her up with her co-worker's best friend Vincent Tanner, a street worker with a can-do attitude and a smile that could land him the leading role in a rom-com. However, Mellie's interest is not at all set on the kindhearted guy, but on her exact co-worker, Tori Davis. Tori, whom she cannot function without anymore, who is present in her every waking thought, who harbors secrets Mellie knows she should not even begin to try to uncover. Which proves impossible as the both of them grow inevitably close. Lines begin to blur, and questions are asked that throw everything off balance. It comes down to Mellie and Tori trying to figure out one thing: Is love worth the risk of questioning everything they know about themselves?
