The Present Problem

Ellie has come home to spent the festive holiday with her family and, while shes always pleased to see her family, she hasnt told them the whole truth.

After quitting dramatically from her job and spending her last few pennies on fuel to get home, shes completely penniless and its nearly Christmas. Her foray into the big city proved to be a total waste of time and she knows shes better off back in her small home town.

But knowing how much her family likes to treat everyone with beautiful presents, she needs to find a way to earn some money.

When the customer shed accidentally covered in Mississippi Mud pie turns up at her parents house, Ellie is both shocked and furious until she discovers shes not the reason hes there.

Joel, tall, good-looking and seemingly wealthy takes a shine to Ellie and hes determined to find her better side although his friend and her brother insists she doesnt have one.

Can Joel break through Ellies hardened exterior to capture her warm heart beneath?

Will Ellie see the kind heart Joel hides from the world?

Will this be the Happy Ever After they both desire?
