Did his overachieving sister book him a room without telling him? Willow Winters is relieved when Mr. Stone arrives safely, although delayed by the snowstorm. The Christmas Inn’s bookings are down since word’s gotten around that the bells are broken, and he’s the last resort to fix them. The tall, confident hunk standing at the reception desk is nothing like what she imagined Mr. Stone to be.

When Jace finally realizes the identity mix-up, he’s torn between revealing his true self or continuing with the ruse. His celebrity keeps him from telling the truth, especially when he feels an unexpected attraction to Willow, and she returns the same feelings. He wants her to get to know him as an average guy and not fangirl over his rock star persona. After Jace leaves and continues with his journey, things get interesting when the real Mr. Stone arrives at the inn. Willow’s confused, disappointed, and angry when she figures out Jace’s deception. Who was that guy? Why didn’t he admit to the mistaken identity? Can these two overcome their rocky start and find happiness or will their romance end in heartbreak before it even gets started?
