It’s days before Christmas, and Samantha Morgan is in her Brooklyn apartment when her editor, Charlie, shows up. Her publisher, Arthur Wentworth, is throwing a Christmas party and wants Samantha to be the guest of honor. She writes a series of books featuring a female James Bond-type heroine named Sloane Parker, and Charlie is the only person who knows that Samantha is the opposite of Sloane. In reality, Samantha rarely leaves her neighborhood and does her research online.

Samantha reluctantly agrees to go. Instead of taking her to Arthur’s house in Connecticut, the driver goes to the airport, and Charlie admits that the party is at Arthur’s new ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This is her worst nightmare.

But when a handsome stranger sits next to her on the plane, things begin to look up. She feels comfortable enough to spill all her secrets to him, including all of her fears and the truth about her fake Instagram account. However, when she shows up at the house, it turns out that this man, Drew, is Arthur’s son. Now Samantha is worried that Drew will tell his father about her lies.

Over the course of Christmas week, Samantha grows closer to Drew. But when his fiancée, Beatrix, shows up, things get more complicated. As Samantha’s fears of bison and giant icicles subside and her feelings for Drew grow deeper, new fears develop...

Will she leave this Christmas adventure broken-hearted? Or will true love prevail?
