Thirty-one-year-old Merry is escaping to the Scottish Highlands for Christmas. Hiding away at Chestnut Cottage with only her Aunt Ava's menagerie of pets for company seems like the perfect way to spend a peaceful December. But when she arrives, Merry discovers some curious instructions from her aunt asking her to organize Secret Santa gifts for the residents of Christmas village.
Merry's determined to try and carry out her aunt's festive task. But on her first night in the little cottage everything goes wrong-including upsetting the handsome local vet Theo Ellis-Lee when he arrives to assist with a crazed turkey and the mischievous rabbit who's torn apart her aunt's gift list.
Merry's plans for a quiet break are quickly thwarted as Theo starts coming by every day to check on the unruly animals, and she can't deny he sets her pulse racing. She finds herself embracing the challenge of finding the perfect gift for each of the kind-hearted people on her list. But when the Secret Santa project forces Merry to face her heartache, she's not sure she's ready for a fresh start.
Will Merry decide to go home and hide from her problems or will she open her heart and stay in Christmas village?
