Synopsis

From the author of TikTok favourite, You Deserve Each Other, comes a charmingly festive romcom!

Bettie Hughes once knew the comfort of luxury . . . before she lost all her money. Long obsessed with her public image, Bettie boasts an extravagant lifestyle on social media but in reality she's broke and her family has no idea.

Christmas, with all its pressure to meet familial expectations, is looming when Bettie plays a vinyl record of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' backward and accidentally conjures up Hall, the Holiday Spirit, in the form of a charming and handsome man. Once the shock wears off, Bettie knows she's stumbled upon the greatest gift: a chance to make all her holiday wishes come true, plus a ready-made fiancé.

But as some of Bettie's wishes lose their charm, she finds herself thrown off-kilter by Hall's sweet nature. Suddenly, grumpy Bettie is finding her heart merry and light. But the happier she gets, the shorter Hall's time on earth grows. Can Bettie channel the Christmas spirit and learn to live with goodwill toward all men? Or will her selfish ways return as soon as the holidays are over?

From the Back Cover

All I want for Christmas is . . . oh, who cares

While Bettie Hughes boasts an extravagant lifestyle on social media, the reality is quite the opposite. She's broke - and her family has no idea. With the pressures of the festive season looming, Bettie drunkenly plays a record of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' backwards and accidentally conjures up Hall - a charming and handsome man who's the literal embodiment of the Christmas Spirit. What's more, he has the power to make all of Bettie's holiday wishes come true . . . no matter how bizarre.

Posing as her fiancé, Hall brightens the holidays more than Bettie ever thought possible. The formerly grumpy Bettie starts to find her heart merry and light. But the more time she spends with her fake fiancé, the more she wishes for something real.

Hall promised he would make all of Bettie's holiday wishes come true but, as his time on earth draws to a close, she wonders if all she really wants for Christmas is . . . him.
