Kristin Cooper, a skilled assistant at a worldwide PR company, is tasked with organizing the yearly Christmas fashion show and auction for clothing mogul Mr. Carson. Prince Patrick, a charming young royal, is sent by his father, the King of Edgemoor, to represent the family at the co-sponsored event. When Patrick arrives in Beverly Hills, he meets Kristin and is immediately captivated by her, mistakenly believing she is her superior, Melanie. As Patrick and Kristin enjoy the Christmas season together in California, she questions whether Patrick would have been attracted to her if he knew she was an assistant rather than the boss.
