CHRISTMAS CONUNDRUM

Faced with dwindling subscriptions at his publication, Adam Boswell sends reporter Rose Barclay in pursuit of an exclusive interview with Christian Reed, a snowboarding superstar who suffered a bad fall during a run. Meanwhile, Christian moves back home to his small town to avoid the press and recover under the care of physical therapist Melissa Rogers.

When Rose arrives in town, Christian and she start off on the wrong foot by arguing over a Christmas tree. However, Rose knows she must win Christian over to get an interview, so she checks into his family's inn and begins to learn more about him.

Disappointed with his post-surgery progress, Christian wonders if he'll ever be the snowboarder he was before the accident. When Christian learns that Melissa’s son Will has secretly been teaching himself to snowboard, he offers to coach the boy.

One night, Rose finds Christian through old photos and artifacts belonging to his deceased father, who taught him how to snowboard. Realizing her growing feelings for the snowboarder, Rose writes a positive, supportive article about Christian, referring to him as a "hometown hero." However, Adam rejects the article and demands she write the "tell all" piece she was hired to publish.

When Christian accidentally discovers Rose's revised, negative article with the headline "From Sports Hero To Small Town Zero,” he is devastated and asks her to leave the inn. Despite her attempts to explain, Rose cannot get through to Christian, so she prays that a Christmas miracle will bring them back together.
