The last thing Lacey Gordon—divorced with a teen daughter and two cats—needs is a rescue dog coming into her life. Santa Paws ends up wrecking her furniture and toppling her Christmas tree. To top it off, she's rooked into a "Get Under the Mistletoe by Christmas Eve" dating contest. Adding insult to injury, Lacey strikes out at the contest, too. Since Buddy the dog prefers to be the only "new guy" in Lacey's life, will she ever find love before the holidays?
