One December day, Laura meets Luke...
Luke's in a band. He's going places. But what good is success if you have no one to share it with?
Laura's a summer girl. But, on this winter's evening, has she found her soulmate in funny, sexy Luke?
Under the Christmas lights, something magical begins. But will they still feel the same on this day next December? And the one after that?
Finding love at Christmas is wonderful. But is staying in love - year after year, through the joy and heartbreak - the real miracle?
