Cynical novelist Dru Cassadine, known for her romance stories, is desperate for a breakthrough after a string of flops. Spurred by brutal reviews and a threat by her publisher to drop her, she is given just weeks to turn out a best seller.

Hard-hearted New York novelist Dru Cassadine...known for her holiday romance stories (even though she is antilove and anti-Christmas)...is desperate to get her mojo back after a string of flops (and a not-so-subtle threat by her publisher that he'll drop her if she has another failure). She decides that a change of scenery might get her creative juices flowing and heads south for the winter, landing in a place known as Harbor Pointe. She doesn't quite get what she came for. She gets much more.
