Christmas is a time for family... isn't it? Allie Richfield loves Christmas, so when ¿she lands a job as House Manager for the amazing Ashford Estate-which includes organizing the Marley family festivities-she ¿is in her element. With a budget bigger than her life savings and a team of staff, how hard can it be? As one-by-one she meets the Marleys, she's about to find out... Allie's new boss, Robert, might be gorgeous, ¿but he's also colder than the snow outside ¿and refuses to come home for Christmas.¿ Robert's playboy brother, Kip, flirts with her relentlessly; and his sister, Sloane, arrives home with baggage-both the divorce-kind and ¿the Louis Vuitton kind. Their ninety-two year ¿old grandmother, Pippa, spends her day grumbling at everybody from her mobility scooter. With Robert intending to sell Ashford, it's the Marley's last chance to create some happy memories in their family home-and Allie is determined to make it happen... even if it takes a little Christmas magic! With the festive spirit in full swing, she might even discover a little happiness of her own...
