Plot Summary: The Plight Before Christmas by Kate Stewart
Whitney wasn’t exactly brimming with holiday cheer. Passed over for a promotion she worked hard for, nursing the sting of yet another failed relationship, and driving a car that could quit on her at any moment, she hoped a week in her family’s snowy mountain cabin might help her reset. Surrounded by her big, loud, and lovable family, it was supposed to be a Christmas filled with nostalgia, tradition, and just enough spiked eggnog to soothe her wounded pride.
But Whitney’s plans take an unexpected turn when the last person she ever wanted to see walks through the door: Eli, her college sweetheart and the man who shattered her heart nearly two decades ago. Stuck under the same roof with the one who got away, Whitney is forced to confront the unresolved pain of their past and the undeniable chemistry that’s still simmering between them.
As tensions rise and holiday sparks fly, Whitney and Eli navigate a whirlwind of family chaos, bittersweet memories, and second chances. Set against the backdrop of a cozy cabin Christmas, The Plight Before Christmas is a heartwarming and angsty tale of love, redemption, and learning that sometimes, the best gifts come wrapped in second chances.
