Plot

Brooke Bennett goes to Ireland for Christmas to search for her Irish roots. While there, she meets Aiden Hart. Mistaken for an elite event planner, she's hired to host his castle's epic Christmas party.

Having always wanted to be event-planners themselves, New York sisters Brooke and Margot Bennett hit a professional low when they're fired from their server jobs for high-end event planner Paige Monaghan during a Christmas party. Now with nothing to do for the Christmas season, they use their life savings to travel to Ireland to search out their unknown Irish roots, of which they have only recently learned as their now-deceased father, who was adopted, discovered scant information about his biological family during his lifetime. In Ireland, the sisters meet Aiden Hart, then later learn that he's the Earl of Glaslough, a title he reluctantly inherited, feeling unworthy, unlike his late father, the former Earl. Aiden does his globetrotting work as an architect largely to escape everything associated with earlhood, while his sister Siobhan manages the Hart estate centered on Castle Hart. He has just unexpectedly returned to Ireland for the holidays after five years away, during which the castle has been converted into a hotel, the business of which and holding guided tours pays the bills. Their financial situation hasn't even let them repair the chapel yet after it was structurally damaged in a storm. This year they hope to pay the bills by hosting the most lucrative, lavish Christmas gala at the castle on behalf of the Duchess of Abercorn instead of their usual Christmas event, the more community-oriented Twelfth/Last Day of Christmas festivity for the town. Their event planner quits at the last minute, and they beg the Bennett sisters to step in to organize the event to be held in 10 days on the presumption that not only are they high-end New York event planners, but also that Brooke is *the* Paige Monaghan. While uncomfortable with the lie, Brooke agrees on Margot's urging both to help the Harts out of a bind, and knowing that they could plan an event of this magnitude. While Margot will largely handle the logistics at the castle, Brooke will handle the creative end with Siobhan assigning Aiden to be her liaison for whatever she may need. In spending time together, Brooke (as Paige) and Aiden start to fall for each other. Will a relationship between them even be a possibility when the truth is revealed?And would this lie cost the sisters their dream to be real New York event planners?—Huggo
