A book editor must work with a former rival to help a potential writer find her way. He reminds all of them about the Christmas spirit and the value of community.
Hannah works at the family's publishing company which is trying to expand. Her old friend but also competitor from their school days, Ryan, turns up in town to sort out his parents estate and Hannah's parents engage him, with his marketing skills, to help with their expansion. This bothers Hannah that has not forgotten when she and Ryan competed for the same job, a competition that Ryan won. There is also a new tenant in Ryan's parents hose, Tina. She is a famous author of romance novels that has lost the will to write. Hoping to recruit her as a writer to the family business Hannah tries to engage her in the towns Christmas activities. And Angel Falls would not be Angel Falls if there's not an angel in town to help and nudge events in the right direction.
Ryan MacDonald returns to his home town for Christmass and to settle an inheritance with friend-notary Tom Jennings after quitting his executive job with a major New York publisher. Lowell and Leslie Pressman eagerly hire him as honorary 'special business consultant' to suggest modernizing their local family firm.Tat's countered by their daughter Hannah, Ryan's ever-trumped high-school rival, who failed to apply for his New York job and dodges change. Still his suggestion to aim higher by recruiting a renowned author is retained, and he happens to know seasonal romance bestseller Tina Finnegan, who just ended her New York contract and happens to have rented his family home. So he introduces them and keeps flirting during Christmas preparations with Hannah, who slowly realizes he's no nemesis but a great match while Tina reveals feeling like retiring since her adored husband's recent death.—KGF Vissers
Hannah Pressman returned to her hometown of Angel Falls following college graduation to work as a book editor at her family's small publishing company, The Printed Press, which specializes in how to books, such as cookbooks. While she is happy to be home, she aspired to a job at a bigger publishing house in New York, the job she wanted which went to her high school friend/rival, Ryan MacDonald. That rival status has taken precedent as Hannah is fixated on all the times over their lives that he has bested her in their unofficial competitions. So she is less than happy to see Ryan return to Angel Falls in the lead up to Christmas, if only temporarily as he is dealing with issues around his long deceased parents' estate. As he is in-between jobs, Hannah's parents, Leslie and Lowell Pressman with who he has kept in touch all these years, are able to convince Ryan to work as a consultant for them while he is in town, which does not sit well with Hannah. One of the things that Ryan recommends is that they take a risk to expand the fiction section of the company, one of Hannah's favorite writers, Tina Finnegan, who has temporarily moved to Angel Falls renting Ryan's family home and has left her last publishing house. As Ryan and Hannah try to woo Tina to the Printed Press and slowly learn her somewhat bittersweet story, Ryan and Hannah start to fall for each other, while she is reluctant not only to sign with them and stay in Angel Falls, but to write ever again. In the meantime, Anthony, the new receptionist at the Printed Press, is really a guardian angel on a specific mission which brought him to this job as an insider.—Huggo
