'Twas the week before Christmas ... Being stranded on a tropical island isn't Anna's idea of Christmas. There's no family and no snow, and she's desperate to get home to her son in Toronto. So maybe a holiday romance with an Australian sailor will provide a diversion. He's a bit laidback, and his background's the opposite of hers, but he's warm and funny, and she's got no ties - especially now she's decided to divorce her scheming husband. Guy's boat's been wrecked in a storm. Now he's stuck on Christmas Island with this uptight academic woman who can't wait to leave. She's welcome to go. There's no way he'd get on a plane. But she needs help, and his links to a children's charity might just provide the answer. And hey - maybe she isn't as stuffy as he thought. A lot can happen in a week.
