This was a nice, little story.  Our heroine looks after her ill mother and her younger sisters.  They are poor but basically happy family.  Our hero is a young man who is raising his younger sister.  Their father committed suicide and has left them struggling.A well-to-do  lady invites people to her home for a scavenger hunt.  One is a relative who will inherit her estate when she dies.  She doesn't care for the man or his family, but though he will inherit the house, her money is a separate matter.  She sets a challenge of having her guests bring items representing things in the Twelve Days of Christmas song.At any rate, our couple had met at this same house a few years before and had been attracted to each other.  And they find the feelings are still there.Of course the pair manage to come up with clever ideas while their competitors try to buy their way through the contest.  Even though he is poor and has uncertain prospects, the hero proposes.  The rich lady approves and we have a nice ending.This was a nice story, but it wasn't a real grabber for me.  The characters were a bit bland and I couldn't really detect any real chemistry between the two.  So -- a clean story but it definitely wasn't a page turner.
