As a romance writer, Kayleigh has always believed in happily ever afters and true love, but now she's beginning to doubt if those things even exist.
With nothing else to do, Kayleigh decides to head home for the holidays and spend some time with her family. While staying with her parents, Kayleigh runs into an old flame, Jordan, who she hasn't seen in years.

Jordan is now the editor of a big publishing company and he's convinced that Kayleigh's column was cancelled without reason. He starts investigating and soon discovers that there was a mistake made in cancelling it. Jordan knows that the only way to make things right is to bring Kayleigh back to the publisher and give her column another chance.
As Jordan works on getting Kayleigh's job back, the two spend more and more time together. They reminisce about old times and start to catch up on everything that's happened since they last saw each other. Before long, Kayleigh realizes that she still has feelings for Jordan and that he may have been the one that got away.
