​
Solo traveling for the past few months in Europe, Des is on her way to the airport to go home for the holidays.
​
Then, her rental car stalls and she finds herself stuck in a snowstorm with only a distant Castle for refuge.
​
Lord Sebastian LeBlanc gives her shelter as the snow turns into a full on blizzard. All planes and plans are cancelled until the weather clears.
​
Soon, Des learns that there is more to Lord Sebastian then meets the eye, and that, sometimes, Christmas abroad is more tempting than going home.
