If you're not into decorations or entertaining at the holidays, you might find some of this story tedious because the author's heroine, Savannah, is in charge of decorating a home and hostessing entertainment there for a high powered bachelor businessman over the holidays. The problem is that it used to be her family home. In the family for over 100 years, it had to be sold by Savannah when her parents died and their local department store failed in the bad economy. The businessman, Austin, is introduced to Savannah by her best friend, his PR manager. He needs her old money and family contacts in Seattle to introduce him to the right investors, and he needs her to decorate his new home with the great warm, inviting feel her store displays always invoked in him. He didn't know it was her family home, since the corporation bought the house. Having given all the business and house sale profits towards retirement benefits for long term employees of the family store, Savannah really does need a job, but can she go back and redecorate her old home as someone else's? Can Austin, who lives out of a suitcase and hotel suites, find a place to call home? Togetherness brings them emotionally close, but previous hurts and misunderstandings push them apart. Will the joy of the Christmas season be able to bring them together? A clean, sweet story.Heat factor mild.
