Hurt badly by her last boyfriend, Becky wishes the best for her five older sisters who have found their soul mates, but she herself is convinced she’ll be much happier if she gives up on romance altogether and finds a way to live a fulfilling single life.

When Vance Wilder comes on board at the small clinic where she’s a receptionist, she at first doesn’t give him a second glance. However, about a month into his career as an pediatric occupational therapist, she ends up being the hero of the day when she helps him with one of his most challenging patient. The two grow gradually closer, somehow ending up spending more time together, but Vance’s abysmal track record with women keeps him from hoping for anything more than a friendship with Becky. In the meantime, she begins to struggle with burgeoning feelings for Vance that go beyond friendship.

She needs to learn to let go of the past, and deal with her anger and bitterness, before she can see the way clearly. But even if she does, there’s a tiny secret that she doesn’t know.

Her ex-boyfriend bet Vance that Vance wouldn’t be able to get Becky to kiss him before Christmas.

And though Vance didn’t agree, he’s determined to keep Becky at arm’s length – literally – just in case.
The problem is, sometimes no matter how hard you try, your best efforts end up turning into a disaster.
