Anna Tilford's Connecticut farmhouse is the perfect weekend escape from the pressures of designing interiors for New York's elite. . .until her country neighbor Sam Garrison announces his evergreen farm is supplying the White House Christmas tree. The ceremonial cutting will be televised nationwide.

As uninvolved as Anna longs to be, she can't stand by when the local ladies volunteer to decorate Sam's home for the big event. The rugged outdoorsman is definitely not the doily type. Anna works her decorating magic on every room of Sam's house. And by the time she reaches the bedroom, Sam is by her side, ready to add his own touch. . .
