Known for its natural beauty, holiday-themed Noel, North Carolina, isn't just the country's second largest producer of Christmas trees, it's a warm, welcoming community, as one visitor on a challenging journey is about to discover . . . By the time 25-year-old single mom Nicole Vaughn pulls her RV into Noel she's at the final stop of a momentous road trip with her daughter, Kyle. Born with a heart defect, 8-year-old Kyle is now in need of a life-saving donor heart. Nicky holds out hope, but she knows the road ahead won't be easy. Determined to make this Christmas rich and exciting, she's traversed the U.S. to show Kyle the country's natural wonders. But now Nicky's out of money and needs a job. At the Frosted Firs Ranch, she finds much more. 26-year-old bull rider and ranch co-owner, Tucker Reed, left the rodeo circuit to help his widowed brother, Nate, run the business and adjust to single fatherhood. Seven years later, Nate has found love again and will be married on Christmas Eve. Tucker is raring to return to the circuit. . . . Until an enigmatic brunette with a spine of steel enters the picture. Then Tucker's heart is stolen a second time by Nicky's brave little girl. Soon Tucker is visiting the RV daily, dazzling Kyle with rodeo stories. And when he and Nicky share an unexpected kiss, it reveals an undeniable passion. But Nicky is wary, and Tucker, too, wonders if he's good enough-or capable of supporting Nicky and Kyle through the hardest of times. Yet, love brings risks. As Christmas Eve approaches, can they find the courage to face those risks together?
