I used to look forward to Christmas … The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy and to celebrate with your family. That is, if you have a family. My name is Julie, and if you met me you wouldn’t know the pain I feel, each and every day. I hide it well. Hiding is something I am very good at. Every day I go through the motions of work and then go home. Staying busy is the key. If I stay busy, I don’t have time to reflect on what I have lost. Of course, I am now so busy that I don’t have time for such things as hanging out with friends, dating, or falling in love. That suits me just fine; if I don’t fall in love, then I don’t have to worry about losing them one day. Life can change very quickly, and my life started changing the day I met a homeless man named Ben. There is something about Ben that draws me to him. At first, it was just my desire to help him, but as our friendship grows, I find my heart opening up again. They say Christmas is a magical time, a time for miracles. Is it possible that falling in love with Ben is my miracle?

Should old acquaintances be forgot, and never brought to mind? Ben and Julie are happy to have found each other and their love grows stronger each day. When their friends, Holly and Mike, announce they are getting married, many questions open up for the new couple. Are either of them ready to take that next step? On a visit to Ben’s hometown to ring in the new year, secrets are revealed that threaten Ben and Julie’s happiness. Is the bond they share strong enough to handle the challenges each of them face?

Two best friends. Two very different love stories. Julie I thought I found the man of my dreams, but Ben’s past has caught up with him and I’m no longer his number one priority. He said he loved me but the distance between us is much more than the 600 miles we’re apart. Now he’s shut me out of his life completely, leaving me picking up the pieces of my broken heart. That is until someone from my past shows up. Tyler was my high school crush and my brother’s best friend. I thought he never knew I existed, but I was wrong. He has no ex-wife, no child, no secrets and he wants me. Is he the answer I’ve been waiting for? Holly I’m about to marry my first love, my hero, my Superman. Without him, I don’t think I could deal with all the stress of trying to plan our Valentine wedding. He’s always been there for me and now it’s my turn to be there for him. Mike is about to start a dangerous job, a police officer. While I’m proud of him, I have to put on a brave face. Can I do this? Am I strong enough to be a cop’s wife?
