      Megan Vandemeer aveva tutte le intenzioni di dire ai suoi genitori che la festa di matrimonio in programma di lì a poco sarebbe andata a monte per mancanza del promesso sposo. Tanto più che non lo aveva ancora presentato in famiglia! E invece si ritrova, senza sapere come, a bordo dell'aereo per Kansas City che la porterà a casa dei suoi e al suo matrimonio. Il fatto è che ha il cuore troppo spezzato per dire la verità. Salvo, dopo un paio di drink e due pastiglie, ritrovarsi a raccontare tutta la storia al giovane sconosciuto dai capelli scuri seduto accanto a lei. A Josh McMillan resta una sola settimana per salvare la sua azienda. Questo volo a Kansas City è l'ultimo tentativo. Ma il viaggio per il momento gli ha portato dell'altro: una ragazza molto carina, che sembra sull'orlo di una crisi di nervi, seduta accanto a lui e in vena di confidenze. Ai genitori di Megan, venuti a prenderla all'aeroporto, basterà vedere lei e Josh insieme per credere che sia lui il promesso sposo. E adesso come deluderli?

My family's run a matchmaking business for years, though, and my sister's a romance novelist. You get the picture. To make matters worse, my narcissistic grandmother just sold a reality dating show to network television. Thanks to her, our small town is about to become a hotbed of tourists and opportunists. Her show needs to be stopped, and I'm exactly the man to do it. Cupid, reporting for duty. The star of the show, Kennedy Littlefield, isn't my type at all. She's a wealthy heiress with an unhealthy obsession with Christmas. There's just one problem: I can't stop thinking about her. Kennedy I'm lucky to be doing this show. Maybe I'll start believing it if I repeat it enough...because I'm supposed to be dating eight men, and they all suck. I'm not here to fall in love-I'm trying to save a non-profit with the publicity from the show-but I'd hoped for a Christmas miracle. I love Christmas, only it hasn't come to the set because the show doesn't air until spring, and no one-with the exception of me-wants to watch a Christmas show in March. There's only one thing I want more than Christmas cheer: the ornery grump who keeps hanging out around the set.
