A heartwarming holiday romance about a love-advice podcaster who finally finds genuine romance in her hometown during Christmas.

Natalie Morgan is an author and host of a popular podcast, Holiday Love, which shares true stories of holiday romance with its listeners. While to the outside world and her listeners everywhere see Natalie is an expert on romance, she's never truly experienced a romance of her own.
