“Saints love to hate sinners, and sinners love knowing that the saints are all secretly sinning too.”
Kallum Lieberman is an ex-boyband member now known exclusively for hooking up with bridesmaids at weddings. He’s even considered a lucky charm: he’s such a fail-safe one-before-you-find-the-one that people have started seeking him out.
Winnie Baker’s reputation is the exact opposite: she married her childhood sweetheart and became a star of many popular – although very reserved – Hope Channel movies, while still avoiding the downfalls of adolescent fame.
Except neither of them want these lives anymore. And what better way to change their reputations and bring them both back into the spotlight than to star in a steamier-than-steamy Christmas movie, filming in none other than Christmas Notch, the cute, cosy town where it’s Christmas everyday?
But Winnie can’t act a pleasure on screen she’s never experienced in real life. When she decides some pleasure ‘research’ – purely for science and artistic authenticity, of course – is the only course of action, she realises there’s no better research partner than every bridesmaid’s favourite, Kallum himself. But suddenly Kallum’s teenage crush on Winnie is bubbling to the surface, and he’s struggling to keep this ‘research’ purely professional…
They say opposites attract, but is this holly jolly ever after really ready for its close-up?
