However, Nicole fails to disclose that she and Jordan were once boyfriend and girlfriend — a conflict of interest that could end her own hopes of being made partner at her firm. To make matters worse, Nicole’s efforts to rehabilitate Jordan’s image are constantly undermined by Jordan’s shallow entertainment reporter fiancée.

The Amazon movie Something From Tiffany’s will debut online on December 9.

Based on the novel by Melissa Hill, the film watches as a woman’s life is upended, when an engagement ring meant for someone else leads her to the person she’s meant to be with. Nothing compares to the magic and excitement of the holidays in New York City, where the streets blaze with lights, windows dazzle, and a special box from Tiffany could change the course of a person’s life. Or several lives.
