For disillusioned artist Jaden Loring, the very idea of a joyful holiday seems ludicrous. Christmas is commercial and crass, and all his friends are on party overload. Jaden's just not interested in their social scene any more. What he needs is something real.

Enter Kell — a dark angel bent on turning Jaden's stagnant existence upside down. Once Jaden knows how it feels to make an angel fall, he'd gladly commit this sin again and again. But things like Christmas magic don't really exist.

Or do they?
