In a Handcarved Christmas, Sam Cooper sends for a mail-order bride for his older brother Ben. Now, the tables have turned, a little minute of a thing, dressed in frills and ribbons, arrives on his doorstep talking a mile a minute. Sam's sister-in-law thought this Christmas was the perfect time to pay Sam back for his stunt the year before. City girl, Abigail Rogers, has nowhere to turn after the death of her parents which left her destitute. She corresponds with Laura Cooper for several months, then decides Sam sounds perfect. The gruff, handsome rancher and harsh Montana winters are nothing like she'd dreamed of, but soon, she recognizes the beauty of the landscape and the kindness in Sam's heart. Still, will she want to stay come spring? Can these two set aside a world of differences to see the true gift in front of them?
