With a sentimental tip of a hat to the classic Christmas movie It's A Wonderful Life, Matt is taken on a funny and touching journey through the lives of his friends and his billionaire husband Cal had he not been such a pivotal presence in their lives.

Tis the season to be jolly, but romance writer Matt Darcy is feeling anything but festive. With a pile of rejection letters as high as his latest manuscript, Matt is questioning whether his career as an author will ever take off. And while his perfect husband Cal has planned a week-long trip to a mountain chalet for Matt, Mrs. Mulroney, Mr. Banks, Tilly, and Angus—so that everyone can be together and enjoy the lead-up to Christmas—Matt can only hope his feelings of worthlessness and self-doubt won't ruin the trip.

But when a bump on the head knocks Matt out and he wakes up miles from the chalet, the journey he must undertake is not a trek through the snow, but an eye-opening insight into the lives of those he loves most if he, Matt Darcy, had never, ever existed. Will Matt let his feelings of uselessness and self-doubt lead him forever into the Forest of Darkness . . . or will this Christmas open his eyes to the magical truth that it is indeed a wonderful life?
