Is this the life she was always meant to have?

During the snowstorm of the century, Levi Cutler is stranded on a ski lift with a beautiful stranger named Jane. When the gondola in front of them hurtles to the ground, Levi calls his parents but can't bring himself to say goodbye. Instead, he impulsively reveals that he's happily settled and Jane is his girlfriend - right before his phone dies.

But Levi and Jane do not.

Now Levi's family is desperate to meet 'The One'. Jane agrees to be his pretend girlfriend for just one dinner, but a traumatic childhood has left her unsure how to act around a tight-knit family that cherishes one another.

As Jane and Levi spend more time together, pretend feelings quickly turn into real ones. Now all Jane has to do is admit to herself she can't live without the man she's fallen in love with - and the family she has always dreamed of.
