description: They'll Be Home for Christmas...
  
  Kristen Zaleski is home for the holidays...indefinitely. Her acting career hasn't taken off--in fact, it hasn't gone anywhere. So now she's spending her days helping out at her dad's P.I. office. Until Mitch Donner comes by and lights up her life. Sort of...
  
  Mitch is back at his parents' place, too. As a successful accountant who'd been set up to take the fall in a money-laundering scheme, Mitch isn't quite sure what to do. So he takes a job installing Christmas lights...and gets an early present when he runs into Kristen. Especially when she offers her newly acquired P.I. skills to help him get his life back.
  
  Working together, they plot an elaborate sting operation, one that will take a miracle to pull off. Then again, anything is possible at Christmas--especially if it involves mistletoe!
