She' s tempted to run away and spend Christmas abroad, but her grandmother' s ill health, and current travel restrictions, means Ivy' s staying home instead.Firefighter Rhett Butler is perfectly content saving lives all day long and coming home to his cat who never needs more than he' s prepared to give. After all, if God wanted him married, He' d throw the right woman at him. However, Rhett isn' t sure he can face another round of Christmas parties alone, and he can' t exactly take the cat.A chance encounter with Ivy offers a solution to both their dilemmas, especially if they can keep things strictly business. But things are never that straightforward when Christmas comes to town.
