It’s the most wonderful time of the year…. or is it?
Tom Shepherd has been made redundant.
While his wife Anne works all hours trying and make up for the lost income, he hangs around the market, in Newcastle.
But everything changes when he meets Ellie Ferguson, a beautiful girl much younger than Tom.
Ellie is an aspiring writer, and convinces Tom that he should take a writing course.
Tom is grateful for his newfound passion and spends his days writing and editing with Ellie.
But there’s no denying the physical attraction between the two and it would seem that neither of them can resist.
Tom continues to balance his home life with Anne and his torrid affair with Ellie. Christmas has come early for Tom - he loves writing, loves his wife, and loves his exciting, physical relationship with Ellie.
But Ellie starts to suspect Tom is not all that he seems, when she asks him about joining her for Christmas Day.
Caught in a web of his own lies, he desperately tries to hang on to his double life.
But when Anne starts taking a closer look at Tom’s writing assignments, she finds endless notes from Ellie and her worst fear is realised.
Tom’s last assignment asks him to write his autobiography. But this means reliving a past he has been running from for years.
But in telling the truth about his past, will he be able to save his future?
All I Want For Christmas is a story of love, lust, betrayal and forgiveness, all set against the magical backdrop of Christmas.
'A fabulous festive read'- Holly Kinsella, best-selling author of Uptown Girl.
