Holiday in Handcuffs

Would-be painter Gertrude 'Trudie' Chandler loses her waitress job and boyfriend Nick on Christmas Eve, so her only shot to avoid feeling like her family's black sheep is to replace their ideal son-in-law with even-hunkier dream prince David Martin--by kidnapping him at gunpoint and dragging him to her family's holiday in a secluded, luxurious log cabin. Crazy lies prevent David from convincing the Chandler family that he's not Nick, and from escaping. When he finally passes a rescue call to his spoiled fiancée, David decides to play the perfect catch to make her undoing worse. Before the police rescue him, he and the family realize that they adore each other, the others all prove imperfect, and David and Trudie reassess their relationship after getting to know each other. —KGF Vissers
