We meet Noel who is an author, specifically of Christmas books, doing readings and what not. She's finally home for her last signing before Christmas but she's feeling a bit sad because of the death of her mom. She just wants to go home to her girlfriend Amy, but when she gets there, she finds Amy with another woman.

10 months later, Noel is heading into her holiday season funk. She tells her publisher she wants to write a spring book. She's not having it. Christmas writing is who she is. Noel says she's hitting Christmas writer's block. So when the opportunity to go home and judge a Christmas book pitching contest at the book store comes up, she reluctantly agrees. When she gets there, she meets Callie who is running the book store now. She is a big fan of Noel and actually met her at the book signing last year. They begin to hit it off and then Noel finds out that Callie has a 7 year old daughter and Noel is like....I don't hate the idea of being a mom?

They begin hanging out more outside of the book store and the sparks are flying.

They even end up kissing! What could go wrong?!

Well, first, Callie pulls away because she has a kid and doesn't want her to get attached when Noel isn't going to stick around. But then it gets worse.

Noel's agent comes to town to see how she's doing and her assistant snoops around her room and finds something called Carol of the Bells. They love it. They send it to the publisher and it's gonna be her next big book. The problem? Noel didn't write this book, Callie did. She was reading it over for her. When Callie finds this out, she tells her that she's a book thief and she never wants to see her again.

Of course, Noel makes it right and shows back up to make things right and tell her she's moving home. They kiss.

10 months later, Carol of the Bells is released by Callie and it's a big hit and they're one big happy family.
