A simple favor, a best friend's promise, and the end of the line. Wisconsin, 1931-When Gideon Lundgren agrees to escort his best friend's sister to Manitowish Waters, plans go awry when she witnesses a robbery. He thinks he's merely escorting the girl he once knew, but she's grown into a charming beauty. Emma Whitaker's older brother always warned that her kind heart would be the death of her. It might at that. First, when she's an unwitting accomplice to a robber. Second, when her childhood crush becomes her bodyguard. With a robber on their trail and a tangle of emotions between them, Emma and Gideon detour to his boss's cabin to wait out the ensuing manhunt.

However, Emma's Christmas spirit might be the death of them both. One cabin in the Northwoods ¿ a decade of Christmas miracles.
