All Maureen Kelly wants for Christmas is a full house. Unfortunately, now that her seven sons have all found the women of their dreams, they're too busy to come home for the holidays. If it wasn't for the attention of a good family friend, she would've completely given up on the joy of the season.
Rupert Bates has been in love with Maureen for nearly twenty years, before he had any right to have such feelings for her. He's given her five years to grieve her late husband, all the while gathering the courage to confess his feelings to her. Bit by bit, the magic of the holidays draws them closer, and she begins to return his affection. But will falling in love with his boss lead to delight or heartache?
