Amanda Forrester has been fighting the attraction she feels for her good friend and next-door neighbor, Josh Randall, ever since he helped her light her grill right after she moved into the condo next to his.
Unknown to her, Josh has been fighting those same feelings and both are afraid to mess up the great friendship they already have. But when her matchmaking family insists she comes home for Christmas and Josh finds out they have several 'someones' they want her to meet, he offers to go home with her for Christmas in order to keep her match-making family from setting her up with anyone while she's there.

Amanda takes Josh up on his offer knowing that her family will think they are a real couple. It should keep them from setting her up with anyone while she's there, but will their friendship be intact when they come back?

As the couple makes plans for Christmas, their friendship turns to love--but it's only after making their way over snow slick highways and a near miss with death that they realize it might be time to tell each other how they feel. But how exactly does one cross the bridge from friendship to love?
