Plot

Football star, Graham Savoy, has always been too busy for love, but when he comes home to Notting Hill for Christmas, he changes his mind after meeting the one person who has no idea who he is.

Georgia Bright is a special education teacher in Indiana. Ever since their mother passed away, Georgia has acted as the surrogate mother to her younger sister Lizzie Bright, and as such has always been seen as the responsible one taking the safe path in life. While she has been accepted to grad school in Indiana, she has also been recommended to a program that would take her around the world teaching special ed which is more uncertain in terms of what that life would hold. Instead of spending Christmas in Indiana as they usually do, Georgia and their father Michael Bright will spend Christmas in London where Lizzie now lives, they collectively having Christmas with Lizzie's boyfriend Henry Carter and his family. While in London, Georgia meets Graham Savoy, and despite their slightly antagonistic first encounter, there seems to be a romantic spark between the two. Slowly over time, Georgia learns that Graham is Henry's older half brother, that Henry is planning on proposing to Lizzie on Christmas Day which totally catches Georgia off guard, and the looks that Graham always gets is because he is a famous footballer, the captain of Newbourne FC. Closer to the end than the beginning of his career, Graham is at a crossroads in fighting a knee injury which may signal the end of his career. He does not know what his life will look like if he does retire especially as he has always seen football as a connection to his deceased father. And while he has always been wary of entering into a romantic relationship in not knowing if the other person is interested in him or interested in "Graham Savoy", he, in his retirement life, will still have that as an issue while losing that connection to his past. So one of the reasons he was so willing eventually to open up to Georgia was because she had no idea of who he was or his fame. The question becomes if Georgia and Graham can open themselves up to a relationship with all these uncertainties in their lives.—Huggo
