Lion Studios and the Movie Actors Guild are locked in a bitter arbitration that could change the landscape of the film industry. On one side of the table is Sarah Steel, the beautiful and accomplished labor attorney for MAG. New to Hollywood, she throws herself into her work in an effort to forget her cheating ex-fiancé, and to ease the loneliness of her first holiday season away from family and friends.

On the other side of the table is Jake Rappaport, the handsome head of Labor Relations at Lion Studios. He has worked his way to the top of the Lion Studios' Labor Relations department but with another Christmas season descending on Hollywood, he wonders if there isn't more to life than his career.

An instant and powerful attraction links Jake and Sarah, but a romantic relationship could ruin both of their careers and place the arbitration in jeopardy. Can Sarah and Jake overcome their romantic conflict of interest and open their hearts to love?
