β¦ Synopsis
Australian celebrity chef Jack Carter is determined to convince his estranged wife heβs not the smooth-talking workaholic she married six years ago. Olivia has invited him to Canada for Christmas, not for herself but for the sake of their three-year-old daughter Scarlett. Jack willingly agreed, hoping this is the second chance heβs been looking for.
Olivia has been hurt too many times by her soon-to-be-ex-husband and she doesn't trust him anymore. But she has to deal with him for Scarlett's sake, because her child deserves to grow up with both parents.
But when Jack joins them in Niagara-on-the-Lake for Christmas and asks Olivia to reconsider the divorce, she is shocked. And more than a little worried that a part of her wants to say yes.
Jack promises heβll give up everything for her and Scarlett, but Olivia is not convinced. Can he really turn his back on his high-flying television career in Australia and the lifestyle that comes with it?
Will ten days over Christmas be enough time for Jack and Olivia to mend their broken hearts? Or will it take Jackβs career or an unexpected accident to rip them apart again?
