Abigail Bartlett hates being a witch. While she loves her grandmother, Margaret Bristol Bartlett, Abigail is frustrated that the older woman would bestow her with powers that Abigail has no plans of using. But Margaret knows the family secret. No Bartlett witch who has passed away can rest in peace until a centuries long feud between the Bartlett women and the Griggs men can be resolved, a feud that started in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692.
Grier Griggs is trying to get to New York for Christmas but he's in no big hurry. Although he promised his mother, the last thing he wants to do is go hang out with the Griggs clan. Grier happens to play professional football but outside of him, his entire family makes their living studying, teaching or talking about various aspects of the Salem Witch Trials. Grier doesn't even believe in the Easter bunny, let alone witches.
When Grier stumbles into the small town of Lost Falls and into Abigail's office to ask for directions, Margaret senses his presence and sets a plan in action that puts her granddaughter on a collision course with love. The only problem is, one touch of Grier's hand on Abigail's skin sends the young woman writhing in pain.
Armed with gloves, antibiotic cream, bandages and love in his heart, Grier sets out to win over Abigail. He just hopes love will be enough to save them.
