At the tender age of 12, young Loralee Cox had to leave her California home-and her childhood sweetheart, Evan Bosko-to move to New York on the whim of her theatrical mother. Twenty years later, after building a successful party planning empire, Loralee finds herself drawn back to her Laguna Beach hometown for a once in a lifetime business opportunity. Can the super serious city mogul pull off the impossible for the wealthy Thatcher Brooks' Annual Holiday Extravaganza, or will she find herself uncharacteristically distracted by the devilishly handsome, grown-up version of an old flame, who still makes her heart flutter?
