Since Ben returned to Birch Creek a year ago to work at the Birch Creek Community Hospital under the Chief-of-Staff, his divorced father Dr. David Tyler, he and Peyton have conveniently avoided each other. But with one week to go before Christmas, they are forced back together when their mutual friend, widowed Ford Sherman, unexpectedly winds up in the hospital for a few days and needs someone to look after his young daughter, Lily. With the care to Lily not only the necessities of life, which Ben could handle on his own, but also to maintain some stability in her life by embarking on what were Lily's mother's holiday traditions, Ben requests Peyton's help, as he never had any traditions associated with Christmas. This time with Lily throws a wrench into what both Peyton and Ben had planned in the lead-up to Christmas.

While she has been able to cross all the t's and dot all the i's in being detailed-oriented, the one thing Peyton has not been able to do with one week to go is the big picture item of coming up with the party theme, the secret which she's kept behind the closed doors of the inn's still-empty ballroom.

But they will still have to overcome their different life paths, Peyton in what she hopes will be her new event planning career, and Ben in his medical work in Honduras, much like the altruistic decisions both his parents have made in their lives.

Her boyfriend William has just broken up with her after six months, realizing that he needs a stable life and she would never settle in one place.
