Charlotte Templeton has lived a comfortable and safe life for the past twenty-five years as the manager of a women's pro shop on a prestigious golf course outside of Boston. She loves her job and her home, a small cottage on the grounds of the course. Although no stranger to tragedy and loss, Charlotte is devastated to learn that her near-perfect world is coming to an end as the golf course comes under new management.

Savannah Brady is a fifty-three year-old woman who is far from perfect. Most days she feels zombie-like, walking through life merely existing, but not living. Her husband tragically died a few years prior, and her son moved to Switzerland for a job opportunity in the spring, leaving Savannah on her own for the first time in her life.
On a blustery autumn afternoon, Savannah ambles to her favorite lunchtime haunt, Howardson’s Emporium, to browse the Halloween sale aisles when a chance encounter with one of the store’s employees changes her life in ways she never thought imaginable, inviting her to become the Perfect Mrs. Claus. This brings the possibility of romance, all within the charm of a Christmas wonderland where holiday dreams and wishes really could come true. |
