Can Cooper and Noel learn to embrace life's challenges together? For Noel Echolls, planners and schedules are essential to keeping her anxiety at bay. So when a co-worker leaves without notice, and Noel is thrown into heading up two of the town's biggest events of the year, it's no wonder she has a panic attack. Too bad it's in front of Cooper Meyers, the handsome new business owner she has a scheduled meeting with. Opening a bookstore is what Cooper has been working toward for the last two years. His goal is to have a safe place for his disabled younger brother to work alongside him. The upcoming Christmas event would be a perfect time to open the doors if he can get everything together by the deadline. He's in the middle of going through inventory when a beautiful woman ducks into his bookstore looking panicked. He offers her a quiet corner to recover, and quickly learns of her skills in organizing. Cooper surprises himself by offering her a job in the evenings to help him get the bookstore stocked, and Noel is even more shocked when she agrees. As they work together, they both discover an undeniable connection. But between Noel's judgmental parents and Cooper eventually becoming his brother's full-time guardian, will it be too much for them to overcome?
