'Santa’s coming to town, and he’s like no Santa you’ve ever seen.

'Nick has been visiting this small town for centuries for his two-week annual break. He likes women, really likes women, it gets awful lonely in the North Pole. Each year is the same; party, drink and make very merry with the local ladies.

'For Noelle, making her 9-year-old daughter Mina’s first white Christmas full of wonder is her chief priority – that and paying the bills. She’s working two jobs she loathes, has big problems, and no time for romance – and new ski lodge guest, Santa, is definitely not on her Christmas list.

“I’d like to sink my teeth into your lovely, white neck as I squeeze those gorgeous, firm, cherry plums.”

“Does that line ever actually work?” I snigger.

“Every year.”

“Not this year.”
