Disillusioned with love, Billie Miller flees to the small country town of Bindarra Creek for a fresh start. Her only focus now is to re-connect with her elderly parents who she hasn't seen for several years. No way has she any interest in a certain American whose easy charm reminds her too much of her ex. At least, that's what she tells herself.

One glance and Kirk Wellington falls hard for a prickly blonde and a community that feels like home. His ambition of making it big in Hollywood vanishes, instead he creates plans for a different life. Step one - sweet talk Billie into participating in the Christmas play, where he'll have the opportunity to showcase his many talents. Step two - convince her he's worthy of her love.

But just as their relationship blossoms, her ex arrives in town begging for forgiveness, and Billie's heart is torn.

Who will she choose - the man she'd built a life with or a charismatic stranger who could be gone tomorrow?
